Saturday Night Menangle

What's the thought's on this meeting

1) Who will win the Chariots and what time will be posted ?

2) Who will win the Len Smith and will the break 1:50 ?

3) who will win the Derby ?

This is the way I see it

For A Reason for the Chariots in 1:50 Lanercost to lead and make the pace with For A Reason getting the sit on his back then Motu Crusader to come hard at the 400 with For A Reason to pop off Lanercost back in the straight and and put a length or 2 on the pack in the run to the line

Mr Feelgood in 1:49.8 Washakie to burn burn burn off the gate with Feelgood getting the drag along with Smoken up in the death grinding then Feelgood gets clear at the 400 nice and fresh and strolls on by them in the straight

Royal Verdict in 1:54-5 if he'd driven like his last win and the trial at Melton has that ITMQ feel about him finally could win from anywhere with a cold sit if not burnt early.

1) For A Reason 1.52.4

2) Mr Feelgood 1.51.6

3) Devilish Smile 1.55.2

4) (APG) Majestic Reign 1.57.2

Yep you heard it here first; Luke McCarthy to drive all four plus maybe a couple others to victory.

I think Chariot King will burn out and take a sit on Lanercost back, not the biggest Lanercost fan but he gets his chance here to prove himself, definately a wonderful horse, just needs to take that next step and gets his chance to do it here. Think Atom Of Courage has to go forward and can run a nice race, probably end up 1x2. For A Reason will just roll over to the death and wait for Motu Crusader to give him the 1x1. Im just thinking back to Gold Coast Derby last year here. Was same senario, Lanercost infront, Motu Crusader in the death and For A Reason 1x1. For A Reason should be to classy in the straight. IF Motu Crusader beats Lanercost home, will be the end of him for mine. Cant forget about Purdons horse, can train one to the minute, ID final night reminded everyone of that.
Il go 1) For A Reason 2) Motu Crusader 3) Lanercost

I can see Washakie crossing and handing up to Mr Feelgood and if all reports are right Mr Feelgood being abit too good. Smoken Up will roll to the death and be in it all the way as usual and you can never right him off. Just Feel Mr Feelgood might be able get one over on him here. Holy Camp Boy is the sleeper, loves Menangle, can run into a place. If Lance is in the death I think they can break 1.50 .. prediction, 1.49.6.

Really like the way Excel Stride is going, if he can run those sectionals again, might be able to take some of the sprint out of Royal Verdict. Think Excel Stride can lead most of the way.

derby - royal verdict to lead and hand up to excel stride, royal verdict to win
chariots - lay for a reason

im not so sure Royal verdict will cross early. I give Caribbean Blaster a really good hope. His run in the heat was excellent

i think hes fast enough out and nobody bar excel stride will hold him out, he has gone forward in every big race

my chariots tip is bitobliss, should be some money early for him fixed odds, was amazing in his heat

1) Lanercost 1.51.4 because i am bias and he worked brilliantly during the week.
2) Smoken Up 1.49.8 has a statement he needs to make and i think lance will keep running.
3) Carribbean Blaster i think can lead and run 1.56
4) Louvre to win the APG in 1.56.5

Montana - good luck with Lanercost on Sat night. it should be a very exciting contest . Im sure he will run a great race for you

Apg Fillies final - Majestic Reign 1:55.6 place chance Lettucereason
Derby - Royal Verdict 1:55.9 place chance Mabrook
Chariots - Lanercost to beat For A Reason and Russely Rascal for third 1:51.8
Len Smith - Mr Feelgood 1:50.3 and place chance Holy Camp Boy

Derby - MUSTANG MACH
Chariots - FOREVER REASON
Len Smith - MR FEELGOOD

Wow. Got to be ahappy for the bloke, regardless of the outcome, back against the wall, well done Lance. Amazing horse.

Cant wait for the people to come out and say whats he on? Amazing animal, enough said.
