is the meeting called off

First race of the card and Troppo Veloce is my protection order of the day.

love this card
race 1- im in the camp of circle of grace purely because i think the stable will fire today

race 2- take your pick not interested in this race

race 3 - slinky mapimpi is a banker and should win as far as u can throw a stone

race 4- im going the field here you have numbers 1 2 3 that have won some good races in the past and have to carry 60kg gilded butterfly if 1800m she is my 1st pick 1600m is a concern
the 3 fillys get 4kg from the boys which brings them in. not interested field

race 5 - my best bet on the card comes in the form of big city girl shes been most unlucky and dropping back to a 66mr getting 8kg from some of the boys yes 1600m record isnt great but getting 8kg from the boys is more than enough to get away with it and im having a big bet today

race 6 - if total protection jumps i think he wins ive had a double but decided to back him up in the p6 where one can make a case for a few at the weights with celestial city

race 7 - i think sheldon is the horse to beat would like to see him in front not sure if he will get there with samuel salt so in the p6 ive covered up

race 8 - cold fact is a banker in my opionion and is the best double with big city girl straight forward ride to the front i really dont see anything going with her to match for speed.

race 9 - im in the camp of defender of rights here if it was up the straight would of been bullish on lil miss moneybags. however i thaught ryan would have to drop her out here to take the bend on for the 1st time and over the 1200m im hoping defender of rights can sit 3rd on the rail behind gin and tonic and meteoric and pounce up the straight

best bet big city girl 4-1

best double
cold fact win
big city girl win
