Maryborough have let the team down - surely they could have settled for a 6 race program rather than have the last race a pace

After a couple of runs against the best of the 3yo boys in NZ, My Arya came back to Cranbourne with vengeance last night against her own sex and one can only wonder who out there will trouble Stents little half sister on this trip over here.
Who will trouble her? Not too many fillies of her age group anyway and theres plenty of Australian Dollars for her to plunder if she stays around...
NSW OAKS 23rd May 30K
NSW DERBY 30th May 30K
VIC OAKS 5th June 60K
VIC HOLMFIELD 13th June 30K
VIC DERBY 2nd AUG 75K
BREEDERS CROWN 20th AUG heats FINAL 30th AUG
Obviously outside the fillies only events she will run into the likes of Eljaykay Phoenix who races at Menangle this Tues arvo (i guess in preparation for the NSW Derby) so she will be seriously tested in those events...
Some interesting Victorian trotting starters at Menangle this Tuesday.
Among them is the Warragul track record holder Morning Fawlty, formerly trained by Bill and Simone Walker, now in the care of Jarrod Alchin.

LJK Phoenix had a bad day, didnt like being restrained at the start- galloped, got quite lost in the straight-galloped. To b harsh may i throw this up, i think i saw a classic example of a Vic driver getting lost on the big track, i think he went a bit too early, got to the front too early based on the ground he lost at the start (hence he was a bit tired) lost his mojo got swamped about the 200-100m mark galloped-unplaced.
Morning Fawlty led, faultered in the straight to race rough, pretty much paced as he "lost it" under pressure-unplaced. very similar to his recent Vic performances.
You prompted me to look up the Menangle track specifications Ash. Pretty pathetic when they cannot supply all the info for one of the country's leading tracks

Circumference: 1400.00 metres
Length of Home Straight: 350.00 metres
I saw that Ash but surely they know what the surface is and the radius of the turns - yeah I am picky

home straight 350I saw that Ash but surely they know what the surface is and the radius of the turns - yeah I am picky
assume backstraight 350
=700
1400m track leaves 700 for 2 turns, 350 each turn???
