Melpark Major should romp it in Friday night.. Only Cincinatti Kid and Karlsruhe are the other classy runners.. but not in the same form as Melpark Major.
Smoken Up's visit to S.A will ensure Melpark Major starts at around the $1.30 quote...

and up in Brisbane, Be Good Johnny should win the FFA 1660m Race 7.
And a runner of note at Menangle race 5 on Friday is God Send a potential derby winner having his first start in Aus after leaving the Mark Purdon barn. Looked very smart when winning his last two races before being injured will be intrigued to see what he is paying on fixed odds!
Very impressive debut in Australia.. and definitely a derby winner in the making.Originally Posted by peacheymagic
He ended up odds-on but not as short as I thought..
I wouldn't say he is a derby winner after that run he just got there and didn't beat much, was his first run for a while though and im sure there will be plenty of improvement in him. Will have to watch him go round again before I make my judgement. Does anyone know when Royal Verdict and Excel stride are returning to the racetrack? Haven't seen many good 3yo races, lots of 6 7 and 8 horse fields!
Well.. Be Good Johnny would have won that race had he been 4 or 5 years younger.... he just couldn't muster the speed via the sprint lane....
Is this the end of Be Good Johnny ??
The winner is very, very good over a mile and a really nice horse on its day. Not a disgrace...
Georgetown posted a 1:54MR trial over 2190m last week at Shepparton he will go along way to winning the sprint on Friday night if he run clean and dosent gallop and at good odds if Melpark Major is the fav.
ah yes I forgot about that time trial... but I still think Melpark Major will be too good here. I'm a bit dissapointed that the connections and the Tubbs camp have chosen not to take Melpark Major interstate but to stay in Victoria to chase the country cups and the big metro races. I still think he has what it takes on the Grand Circuit, but then again, the connections and the trainer know best..
And if Georgetown wins then MJL would have silenced his many critics.
Speaking of critics.. where is our favourite friend Caleb? I wonder why he's not on this forum. We could all have some juicy stouches with him.
