If they teamed up against him they could definitely beat him
1st Mach crosses him
2nd Tact follows Mach through to hold LTF on the fence
3rd Bullet stays on his back so he cannot drop out and come around from last
4th Mach hands up to Dreaming to put LTF 3back the fence
I think if I was Grant I would be easing him at the start
Yea , I see where you are coming from. He will want off the fence if he can not hold up. Interesting race.
Has LTF any gate speed?
I don't think he has much
Well he has a bit and after retaking the lead he was never in doubt
The other of the night's horses with a 'class edge' - Oscar Bonavena, was most impressive in the Trotters Cup
It was a boring race after about 150-200 mtrs. Half in 30.2 & 31.8 , but they allowed him to do that.
Terang Cups on Friday night
Good fields (although what is a trotter who has only won 4 races doing in the Cup - every other starter has won at least 11 races)

Plus a $10k preliminary has attracted Yambukian, Catch A Wave and Rock N Roll Doo
If you stay around until the last you can see Matty Craven's palomino White Lion go around
The only weak point of the meet is having a $4k race kick off the program
Keayang Zahara is to work between races too.

I find this a bit of an eye-opener. She has only had 2 months off and her possible first race back is 3 months off, I did not think she would be back in work for that long before resuming
Yea ,we get that. We used to give at least 8-10 weeks to bring horse back from a 8-10 week break.
Bringing her up slowly , you still have a horse , no point rushing her.
Yes, I am certainly for patience, I was only a little surprised - I thought it may have been similar to what you said Trish or maybe that she would get 3 months off and take 2 months to get back
