Also good to see some the 3yos come back earlier in preparation for the Vic Derby. Too often they've been 1st or 2nd up whereas the Kiwis came across with match fitness and made the Aussies pay.
Sushi smashed them & Restrepo back on song
Have to be happy with that Trev. Was waiting for him to get out of 2nd gear. No such luck.
Restrepo looked to be right back to his best tonight too. Last time out just a bit of a blip. Very exciting colt.

Hey Breno. Do you think Restrepo will get the distance in the Derbies?
A mate of mine and I have been debating this for a while now. To me he looks a fair bit stronger this time in.
I think he will. It may not be ideal for him; he ran 26.9 home last night which isn't going to happen in a Derby, but he should get it. Or at least looks like he gets it in 3yo company.
He will get an easy starting point too, 2240 Vic Derby...or 2230m SA Derby if they go there next weekend. He won at 2240m last year winning by 15m so thats a positive.
What was the conclusion you and your mate have come too?
The injury may have done him more good than harm in the long run.
Hey guys for what it's worth I think he will get the trip easily. He looks the part now.
As good a horse as he is when he gets loose on the lead I think he'll be an absolute killer coming off a helmet. G. Sugars drove him perfectly. If he sits in on front end speed he will kill them. A great looking horse too, right from when he was a yearling. Classy type. Annie Dalton prepped him & she loved him.
Loved Dan Milecki's call in the home straight in Sushi's race, describing Greg Sugars "doing an impersonation of a statue" , not moving at all in the sulky , in the run to the line.

Are you talking about Sushi or Restrepo, or a combination of both ?
I'd say Sushi Sushi, VVV made mention of G Sugars driving him. But yes it could be about both!
Nah, I wrote G. Sugars, should have been G. Lang. Sorry.
Talking of G. Sugars, I think Dashing Dan's stealing my Cigar Store Indian material there.He never moved on Sushi. Can't wait until he really calls on the horse Trevor. That's going to be something to see. Looks to me like he can turn in a 26 or sub 26 quarter pretty much any time he's asked, early, middle, late in the race. The most impressive horse I've seen since Christian Cullen at his best.
