Miracle Mile Barrier Draw

[Love Of Courage]

Hello G-Mac,

Luke is sticking with the super son of Courage Franco Jamar.

Regards,

Sue

The more I think of it the more it seems a swoopers race.
Lance will set some cracking sectionals. If ITMQ doesn't get a breather mid race he might pull his head off and be done.
That could mean FJ, TTL, or Mr Feelgood. Has Luke announced which one he's driving yet?
Super race coming up. Can't wait

Luke is on FJ

[Mighty Atom]

I agree with mightymo with regards to Smoken Up. Not saying he cant win but I dont think he's racing at a 1:48 + capability at the moment. Any of the others can win except the one in the death seat.

[Lucky Camilla"s Lovechild]

After Lances bold statements today, I'm sticking with Smoken Up.
1. Smoken Up
2. Im The Mighty Quin
3. Mister Feelgood
4. Terror To Love
Time 1.48.2

I love it when Lance makes a big call and throws down the gauntlet. Should be more of it in my opinion. That's what racing's all about...my horse is faster than yours. Great stuff.

[G-Mac]

Cheers Sue and Harvey.
Luke's choice of drives is a good guide for punters, particularly after how well Mr Feelgood won on Saturday night. FJ must be flying.

It's a shame the weather had turned bad in Sydney over the last 24 hours with heavy rain. Showers are set to continue well into the weekend unfortunately.

I'd love to see an attempt to lower Smoken Up's mile record , but the bad weather might stifle that now

[mightymo]

historically when Menangle gets quite a bit of rain, the inside can be a bit "off"

[G-Mac]

29mm of rain fell in the area in the week leading up to the Len Smith Mile when smoken Up broke 1.50, including 16.8mm on the actual day itself (30/04/11)
The same weather station has copped 40mm in the last 24 hours but given the above; if the showers tend to ease coming into Saturday as predicted I think the track will play quite well. My main concern would be strong winds as the track is very exposed. However, winds of 20-25 km/h are predicted which isn't too bad.

Not only does he talk it up,he is quite prepared to go out and make it happen.Pity some others don't follow the example.
