Agreed Mr H. He is 15 points better than anything in this race although Top Command could be better than his rating. Dropped 13 points in his last 3 runs, so at that level would have been 28 points better. I thought he would open up at 3/10 so the 9/10 IMO is great value see him starting at half those odds come race time. (tu)

I received a Nagme about Canterbury Tale
i cannot get the replay of his last run but he did not have an easy passage and should have gone closer. Only concern is does he stay 2450m . Dolomite can upset

Imo as a 4 year old has not come close to his 3 yr old ratings - admittedly he has now come down and still is well clear - but just a reminder that he was twice beaten by Baracha (staring at 6/10 and 4/10 respectively) when also looking a racing certainty, and then also E-Jet did not exactly frank the form next time out - he can win wthout my money - should not miss a place, but I'm going to back him up in the PA with Go Gold.

I'm really looking forward to race 4 - as I mentioned earlier I find it hard to split La Volta, Valberg and Sharp Design, but at 8/1 the value imo is Kalaam - at worst I would have her running a 94 in her pinultimate start behind Franny - which would still make her 4 points clear of Valberg (and she also ran to that sort of rating in her last start over this 1000 back in June)

I see Catraz is now a scratching in race 3 - if I were the connections I would be asking a question or two about why she can't make the field - with all due respect, how can fillies like Velvet Lady and Zincara get into the race before Catraz?
