Re:Queens Plate Racing Festival, Friday (07) & Saturday (08)

Hopefully nothing serious.

He'll probably have to remove 1 foot (about 1,5kgs) off normal riding mass...and configure armchair accordingly...

Would be interesting to know what problems Rainbow has - really looks a 3 horse contest now between Kommetdieding, Jet Dark and Linebacker (surely better than his last run); that last run by Do It Again looks worrysome for his supporters, while I can't have the 3yr old at these weights; War of Athena could be a bigger danger if she does make the trip down to the Mother City

Read they will fly down War Of Athena. Frodo, what do you make of Double Superlative?

So what's left for Richard Fourie to ride?

Jet Dark will win the Met irrespective of the draws.

Jet Dark unplaced
Marina will win easing up

Agree with Marina, but Candice needs to get a pacemaker in the race

Firealley ?

On the subject of WOA for Sat at around 11/10
Aware it's 7 furlongs but she is all class and very adaptable to various distances.

Good punt IMO

Met not sure but a big price 🤔

We will each have our own views - mine is that Double Superlative is ridiculously short in the current betting; on my own ratings, I have him as many as 5.5 kgs out at the weights with the best rated runner (which I have as War of Athena) and 4 kgs out with runners like Jet Dark, Kommetdieding and Linebacker (can't be written off on 1 below par effort); at current odds, the value imo is War of Athena - lets hope the flight arrangements go smoothly

@ Frodo. I like War Of Athena and Marina due to them getting the 2.5kgs sex allowance. Marina was finishing nicely in the Paddock Stakes and has run behind the Warrior who beat Kommetdieding. Jet Dark definitely will be in the finish. 8/1 was still available after the Queens Plate.

On an another note, the Warrior, looks like is Snaiths main horse run for the July in my opinion. Still rated 108. Will run in the Greyville 1900 as the winner can go up by maximum 6 points.
