I see no reason why 8 or 9 time winners winning again should be cause for concern - BUT in the case of Greasepaint, I suggest the horse had no chance on current form, which does leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth - but there are many instances where seemingly 'no-hopers' upset :unsure:

For me Angelic Appeal has at least been showing improvement off her current rating, so she must have had a chance on recent form. What gets my goat, is when horses suddenly improve to win - I think we can all accept that horses are not machines - but really, to suddenly improve after quite a few poor runs , does irk :(

If you look at the form the horse had at the venue the last time/times the horse ran, greasepaint deserved to win!

Leave out runs at other centers!!

You focus on VAC1200m not Tur 1160m or Vaal 1000m/Vaal 1200m

One could always make a case it you really want to - and I assume you found him yesterday, so well done; however you also need to remember that all 9 his previous wins were down the straight over 1000 and 1160 - it does give ammunition to the folks who may suggest that he was given a few 'soft' runs recently in order to get them to drop his rating ....

Quinlan another one of those?
Came last in it's last two runs and beats it's 15-10 and 3-1 stable companions.
And for good measure Bremner's fourth choice also finished ahead of the those two.
