With Nathan Purdon returning to NZ, Amore Vita is now in the Stewart stable
Despite driving more Gp1's for them than any other, there goes another big drive of Chris Alford's
Last night it was interesting to see Greg Sugars drive Moments Like These $81 for the stable and an Alabar Syndicate instead of Sarah Anne $41 for Freddy Taiba whom he had driven for her two previous wins
Well it was really only interesting because you would have expected him to drive the stable's Nonparreil $3.60 for Alabar last week instead of Sarah Anne $2.60
I know the stable is in Jess Tubb's name but it is both of them - I don't know how I would feel about the Candyman choosing not to drive your stable horse when it is in the market

Stewart confirmed their brilliant Victoria Cup runner-up Honolua Bay (Somebeachsomewhere) will head to Sydney for the $100,000 Group 1 Len Smith Mile.
He will need a new driver with David Moran committed to the amazing Ladies In Red at Melton in the $100,000 Group 1 Queen of the Pacific.

He is too loyal to ditch his Melton drives for Menangle

I wonder if Pitt goes to Syd. Moran, Jack and others onto the Melton runners Pitt was down for.
Interesting the choice of Manning rather than Jack for Treachery.
Kerryn has had 8 drives on her for 5 thirds (before Pitt returned)
Jack has never driven her
Braeview Kelly is not going to trouble them over this distance is she Brendan?
Moran might take Beyond Delight in the 4&5yo and they may put Josh Aiken back on Narutac Prince
I could be wrong about Alford not going to Menangle - I forgot about Max Delight (maybe Josh won't be available at Melton)

I think $4.60 is pretty short when she is untested burning the candle at both ends. As impressive as last week the breakdown of splits was perfect for a fast time. Not sure she gets that with Tough Tillys gates speed and Ladiesinred ability from the chair. Perhaps her presence in the race helps Ladiesinred though, who doesn't have a good head to head record when Tough Tilly gets an easy lead. Solid no bet race for me.

Amanda on Honolua - she has been brought down here to drive for Anne and Bill in the past so that is no surprise
Chris Alford has gone up for Max plus another Aiken runner and one for David Moran, Rebecca Bartley takes his Melton drives
