Great to see based on the barrier draw, we should have a very competitive race here.

Does look good Ash. There's two ways I see the race panning out.
A. (on form, this should really eventuate) Avonnova straight to the front, Abettorpunt in the chair with FAR stalking 1x1. A slight chance that last weeks winner makes an early move but I just can't see it. Leader wins for me in this scenario but $2.20 currently is just that margin too short.
B. Team driving by the Macs keeping the lead, leaving Avonnova in the chair, Abettorpunt out in the cold and FAR with the gun trail & probable victory.
The pole horse was very ordinary last start. The draw gives it an outside place if the speed is moderate otherwise it'll be outclassed.
$2.20 is short but he looks the winner.
Avonnova will win for a good guy of the sport..
Great win
Track record. Too fast too good. As Kevin Seymour said in the presentation, what could he do at Menangle???
Good effort Abettorpunt in fast time
Better effort from For a Reason who came from a few lengths behind ABP about 4 wide. Luke said before the race he would need tonites run and b better next week!
Now what's happening with the grandstand situation at Albion Park?
The winning post has gotta b 50m to the right!
Felt like I was back at Moonee Valley!
Yes pretty tough to come from back in the field when Avonnova has run the last 1/2 in 54.4, He just run them off their legs. Punter and For a Reason's runs where full off merit.
I know he hasn't raced there for a year but Kevin Seymour must have a short memory. Avonnova has run at Menangle 46 times in his career. By my reckoning, that's over 40% of his lifetime starts.
My horse ran the race after Avonnova was claimed at Goulburn and sent up to QLD.
He was only beaten 8.4m after death-seating in that Quinny time Kev so that would be his fastest time albeit not a winning time.
