and up in Brisbane, Be Good Johnny should win the FFA 1660m Race 7.
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 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!
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 the open class at Menangle has Lonestar Legend v Min Min Lights v Rohan Home v Holy Camp Boy over 2300m. I can see Lonestar Legend burning out to get the lead and for Holy Camp Boy to come over the top.
Also, hasn't Rohan Home dropped off ever since the Newcastle Mile..
And Atomic Ark hasn't been the same ever since coming down from Brisbane..
another interesting horse this weekend is Cosmic Under Fire in the Hobart Cup Sunday night. Chris Alford has been listed as driving. . . and a notable absence is Gedlee..
Geez I love Tuesday nights.. because I can have a look on the Australian Harness Racing website and check out the fields for the weekend's races..
Hmmmmmmmmmmm Chris is not driving in Hobart now... but I still like Cosmic Under Fire anyway...
Not a bad weekend with great horses all around Australia.... Smoken Up, Melpark Major, Washakie, ITMQ, Has The Answers, Be Good Johnny.. Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney... LOVE IT.
