And i'm still expected to pay 50c to have a leak in a branch!!!Talk about pissing your money away!!

Mr H do you think that lazy horse of mine will like the sand tom mate?

Oscar, i really like your guy - only real concern is the sand but with Mark up (expert on that surface) i think he could be an exotic banker. He seems to race best when handy- a big plus on that surface- and the 2200 against Calpurnia suggests that he will be the one to beat as the distance will suite him.The field looks weak with the biggest danger being Wild Russian and Foreign Call though this one seems to have lost form of late. Will u be racing bud (i've got a runner so i'll be there as does Cat who will not but i'm going to shout his guy home on his behalf) if u are then find me in Kelvins Bar. Have posted m selections and did make him best bet on a slightly tricky card
