From a handicapping perspective:

IF Heavy Metal ran 112 ok (and i think he did)

then

2. Run For It 106 ok
3. Do You Remember 105/106 ok
4. No Worries (107) 101 -6
5. Jet Explorer (101) 95 -6 (back to pre Gry1900 win)


or you can go with 4th and 5th and increase top 3 by 6 each (not for me right now, but each to their own)

also
50% of the field within 5L
Age performance: 4yo - 5yo -3yof - 3yo
4 of the 7 3yo's in top half

What a great run by Do You Remember

I suppose it's partially a consequence of many of how best horses being exported now, but 112 would have only been good enough to be the joint lowest rated horse in the Sheema Classic and would not have been good enough to make the field for the Duty Free.

I thought Astro News got a poor ride

Marshall stable struggling all of a sardine :S ... Started KZN season like a bat out of hell...

Heavy Metal is now a 118
Run For It a 111
Do You Remember a 110
No Worries a 107
Jet Explorer remains a 101
Whiteline Fever remains a 112
Capetown Noir remains a 107

Heavy Metal a 118 : against that field. Wow.

I wonder what they make of Kolkata

No surprises in the bottom 7 - was pretty much the makeup of what I thought would NOT make the final field. (Barring Seal).

Jack D has it spot on.
To use the 4th horse as the line horse makes no sense when the first 3 all confirm their ratings. Heavy Metal is a good horse but he is not 118.
