    $3.90 available Thefixer worth a bite.

    Mach Shard $5place, overs if ends up 3 fence seen what he can do ID final.

    I guess Self Assured should be winning though. Was probably more tightly touted than Ultimate Sniper not long ago.

    Plenty of meets around the country tomorrow but Albion Park is the only one complimenting the big Auckland races (although the biggest is a good half hour after their last)

    I cannot understand why the rescheduled St Arnaud meet is not being run later instead of the hot weather times it has been allocated - no doubt we are letting the TAB and Sky dictate
    The change to tomorrow was done early enough for them to promote it across digital media if they were going to feature the NZ meet as part of their day
    (not really much driver doubling up with Melton necessitating plenty of time between Vic's meets and the couple could easily have been covered)

    Self Assured stamped his foot on his claim as Australasia's best pacer by winning the Cup. His sheer speed prevented Thefixer from having much sprint left at the finish after a cold sit.

    And only bad luck will beat Amazing Dream in a follow race their this season, she is a complete little racehorse who wins anyway she has to.

    Enjoyed watching all the races.

    The big 4 were very on pace dominated which is why I probably like Amazing Dream's effort best (and the 2nd by Bad To The Bone)

    What about the domination of Bettors Delight. In the 3 big pacing races, he sired the trifecta, the trifecta, the quinella !

    While in the trot, Majestic Son sired the trifecta!

    Smooth Deal's run in the Sales final was terrific after being pole-axed early. He will be here for the Vic Derby, Self Assured for the 4yo Bonanza and Hunter Cup. Amazing Dream stays home, has the Sales Series, the two Oaks, Nevele R Series and the Harness Jewels. All worth 100 -150 grand, so she stands to boost her earnings somewhat by the end of July.

    Agree with all you say except I have heard that Self Assured will not go to the Hunter Cup using the Bonanza as a qualifier to the Miracle Mile (his main target).

    Not so sure, Cup has not been ruled out despite contrary reports.

    4yo Bonanza qualifies him for the Chariots, which in turn qualifies him for the Miracle Mile.
