Derby is a very good race with 4-5 chances , Lazarus in all his wins this year has had everything go his way most of the time , with slow first halves[last week 61 ,these day is crawling at ballarat] . Don't hold back did a lot of work early last week and if got out earlier wins by a lot. Sprinter ran the quickest last half last week and hit the line hard . Power of red with a sit on the speed up close etc . I can see Lazarus posted 3 wide for a while and at $1.40 is not value. Pity it wasn't over 2500 ,if they run a quarter over 30 at any stage would we find the best stayer ! Probably not . Just the horse that got the best run.
