What a great nights racing it will be
Leap To Fame! A couple of hopeful Vic stables must have wanted to catch a bit of Winter sun

Although it is Vic stables dominating the market for The Square

Magnificent Storm away from GP but a visitors draw

There are some real anomalies in the ratings spread in some races tonight

R8 The Sun: Leap To Fame 120 v Hes Charlies Angel 70

R6 The Mr Feelgood: Swayzee 94 v SIX 120's

All the horses in the Consolation (R1) bar one have a higher rating
It is an indication of how Bondi Lockdown is going, that he is in the consolation - he would want to win it or come back to Horsham

R4 Discretionary Trot: we have a range of 64 to 111

R7 The Square: Kenturio 53 to Courage Stride 95

R9 Sun Consolation: we have from 52 to 88

Sad to say that Bondi Lockdown is now just an ordinary horse

ps The worst rated horse in the race won

Leap To Fame is simply beautiful to watch
If Lazarus doesn't prove to be Bettors successor then maybe it can be this boy

Sunshine Sprint barrier draw is a cracker.

Since the market opened All the money has been for LTF - in from $2.40

Expensive Ego at $81 - he has never started longer than $34 in 51 starts

[aussiebreno]

Could this be the one race Ego isn't forced to do all the bullocking work and gets a nice run into it over tiring horses? Probably not but the $81 above was overs and specked into $51 now is still worth a couple dollars.

Other than I'll be cheering for Storm but hard to see a way he wins from that draw. Was probably a shade disappointing last week but it was a super quick lead time.

Elsewhere on the card if Majestic Harry & Fairy Tinkabell were able to find the front they are well overs. Both have gate speed but I guess being in 2 is hard to cross the polemarkers who are no slouches.

What do we know about the gate speed of Grimson's pair?
Drawn 1 & 2 - it just seems like it is set up to win - what big race hasn't he plundered?

Bettorzippit has good gate speed and could charge forward from the pole. I Cast No Shadow could easily take the sit and sprint-lane his way home.
