Why do they make Smart As Paint 11/10 ?

Difficult race to work out Craig with plenty possibles. Yours was within two lengths of Ivanovich on debut but started at 75/1. Egdes has one out that I nibbled at 40s and has been backed, his stable could be firing at the moment. Intense Intrigue has obviously had issues but steps up in d and was heavily supported from 25/2 into 4s and 33s into 5s in her last two outings. Not going through the entire field etc, but for me personally, I think if ignoring Tenderwood's last run when reportedly not striding, on her penultimate run and with the 1 box here she is a decent price for an e/w. Plenty possibles! lol

Hope yours go well for you in an "interesting" race

Invecta is my place bet in the first

2 runners at greyville today
Race5 Charters Creek good ew chance
Race 8 Cold Shot class horse but plagued with soundness issues. Could run right there
Best James

Englander, Intense Intrigue has plenty ability but is an absolute nutter.3/4 trainer now. Hates the pens and most other things as well. Had other problems as well. Anton mentioned 2 7 to beat.

great ride on the 1st winner

why did they make Smart As Paint so short

Form runners have won the first two races , we should all be looking loaded

Well AD certainly justified the huge drop in odds there

Shot Bob

Thanks Craig. Obvious from career runs at stalls and breaks that there are plenty problems with II but the money would imply that there is hidden ability. You should tell Anton if he thinks he has the 2 n 7 beat the race may still be far from won... or should that be one lol

Has been riding great ever since there was some constructive criticism on ABC, seems to have "perked" him up again, though of course he may never have needed the "perking"! That feels like the 3rd or 4th second I have had to him in the last week or so, wish he'd go back to not fulfilling his potential! lol

The Marcus factor, the trainer/jockey combination have previously won with first timers and more importantly, the ante post price is really testing the waters. If it was any good, they would have taken the 1/1 and the bookies are not selling something at more generous odds than they should.
