PRINCESS CHICHIBU

HOSTILE TAKEOVER place
WOLF`S GIRL place e/w
BOSTON LEGAL places but ATSO FIELDS could win

I expect many braais tonight for the locals as there is no threat to prize money by raiders.

3 out of three places for me thnx mr h think should quit while i am ahead

Think Princess Chichibu is a big runner with the added distance here. Always runs on late.

Any knowledgeable person out there care to tell me why, having won nicely running on from the back over shorter, you would choose to go and lead first time out the maidens over 400 more. Re Bushfighter. And I am not moaning, I just don't get it, makes zero sense to me.

I think the early pace was slow and with wide draw he didn't want to be trapped 3/4 wide,so kicked on instead of dropping in behind.

5 out of 5 places so far amazing

Thanks Dave. Excuse my ignorance but, surely if you run on nicely from behind, in many ways you should be happy slotting in. Though he was drawn 8, it was only an 8 runner field so unlikely he would be caught wide and its not like he would have had to pass 16 runners on a course with a tight bend and short straight. As long as the pace is not so slow that it turns into a sprint, I just don't see the logic/advantage. That said, I am basing my "assessment" on only one run and that was a weak maiden so not much to base my "likes to run from behind" theory on. Cheers anyway, appreciated

Englander specifically enquired if there was any knowledgeable person out there :dry:
