thanks for your views Sly...3 points that you raise that interest me...
R1 the breeding, I'm always interested, especially in siblings that have shown to be fast starters, by this I mean that they win their maidens as youngsters or within their first 5 starts.
R2 the yard that is in form...
R5 Zoombomber...if there is a horse that I thought may do more and has really disappointed me...you can underline this one...
R6 Nordic Rebel...this takes me back to the days of the Passmores at Clairwood with Galvinator, Numerator(not sure anymore) and a couple others that now slip my mind...11 years old with the top weight jocks up...Dennis Bosch being one...I'm don't think that current handicapping is an improvement

• Race 4: Thunee Playa
• Race 5: Risky Busines
• Race 7: Warm Winter Nite
