Winter!

Hey MangoI agree but I dont think either horse is going any different to last year timewise and although its hard to guage form in two countries I think overalll CTR has been racing in much harder fields. I think Lanercost s nearly unbeatable in a sit and sprint race but CTR is much better in a hard run race

dont underestimate Torque in Motion - she is an outstanding mare and drawn to get a fantastic trip

His last 5 race's he beat Be Good Johhny came 2nd in the Hondo Grattan Stakes then won the Charriots Of Fire then had a month of racing and come's out and win's 2 tune up race's, so can you please explain how CTR has been racing much harder fields.

Hi Mightymo

You are correct she is an outstanding mare and drawn to get a good trip but i just feel she might end up further back on the pegs than they would like and the boy's might be a bit to strong for her.

Mango
Lanercost last 5 starts raced 3 top horses-Be Good Johney(11yo),Motu Crusader and For A Reason(had an injury. CTR last 5 starts Gomeo Romeo,Smiling Shard,Sir Lincoln,Franco Emerite,Devil Dodger,Lancome and Mach Banner. I know which lot I think is easier.

Hi Ramish

Form of CTR
11 of 13
11 of 13
1 of 5
5 of 10
Yeah true he did race them horses but at present they are panels ahead of him. For me he is going know where near his form of last year and that is the reason they sent him across. I suppose tommorrow night will tell.

This is quite the show. I like the plot. Conclusion will be interesting.
Who's up for popcorn?

It might not be popcorn it could well be egg on my face lol. I was just going through Lanercosts form from last year and he raced over the 2100m to 2600m in all his starts so the distance wont bother him and i thought his last hit out was superb, for me i think he is getting better with each run and i think he is an all round stronger horse this time in.

I like popcorn and egg and Ive had plenty of both on my face.I think CTR is going as good as last year.You probably need to see his last few Runs.He wouldnt be there if he wasnt going any good .Why is Herlihy going over to drive him?Should be a great race and may the best horse on the night win

Hi Ramish

I've seen all his runs and thats just my opinion that he isn't going as good as last year. And to be honest with you i don't know why Herlihy is driving him as i thought G Bennett would be driving him for sure. Yeah it should be a cracking race and we both might have egg on our face's and the way i'm backing them tonight i'm in trouble already lmao.
