Hi Vis

Flying Fellow wasn't tiring last time when again badly drawn and will probably like the extra .

Jay Boy will also appreciate the extra .

I thought the 6 point adjustment only applied to 4 year olds and older. How can Garibondy as a 3 year old go up 13 points after her last MR win when the most you can incur is an 8 point penalty for a MR race win? Does this go out the window for 3 year olds if they have been running in open company? This rating adjustment is very confusing. :S

race 5 one of those races where i won't punt on the nose but i cannot make up my mind which horses to include in the pa....:S

Sorry Rob, I usually just ignore your posts.

Garibondy achieved her rating in open company thus the 6p rise, if that win was against her own age it wouldn't have applied.

Thanks 2cents, is there somewhere that one can read all the rules and explanations regarding the MR adjustments.

All the best with Lord Hawke tomorrow. (tu)

Hi Rob but you wouldn't consider her being a sure thing?I mean Champagne Showers isn't all that exciting.Not saying she can't win but personally I think she will.get beat

Not sure Shrek.

Thank you. Lost The Living Is Easy (R.I.P) this morning, snapped his cannon bone, so hopefully LH can lift my spirit

I actually fancy Coco quite strongly against Dolomiti. She is drawn better and is a strong front runner. Her last run against Athina was very good considering Athina ran just over 2 lengths behind Along Came Polly in the Thekwini Stakes. She on this collateral form only be around 4 lengths off the top 3 year olds and they are already proving to be a more than usefull crop. Dolomiti is also having her first run around the turn. I am very happy taking 33/10 on Coco.
