@alunsays Guessing Soft 6 or 7? Track seems to dry out quickly though with fine weather. Heavy 8 atm.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

One at good odds in the Stradbroke is ESTADIO MESTALLA. Not saying it's a super winning chance but Blinkers go on and the last time that happened it led and won @ $61. Blinkers came off in November and he won @ $21. Third up he is 3-3/7 and has a miserable 0-1/8 record second up.

@pooley57 Nutting wrong with that Ray. Just don't get too Pistachioed if yours does win.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@pooley57 Maybe go with a Macadamia this time Ray. Odds are not as big lol.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@alunsays I found a lot of horses in the race have the wrong gap between runs. Quite odd. HG, Trans and Splash look best suited in that regard.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@pooley57 Cheers Ray, will have something on it.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

He should actually lead this field from a good barrier and take some running down. Had a very soft trial yesterday. Good second behind WFA horse Gringotts says he is up to this. Age might be against him though? Trifectas?

@pooley57 $126 Ladbrokes.

Have to have a peanut on SHA OF GOMER R2 E/Farm on Saturday. First three runs of prep he is 0/19. Fourth up he is 3/4. He really likes inside barriers and gets barrier 2 in this race. Got exposed early in the straight last start and his run was okay. Weight the issue but 100-1?

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@alunsays I would imagine he would be peaking around the end of carnival and Grafton Ramornie time. Ideally he would be carrying a lot less weight than this but he did win with 60kg a year or so ago.

@RobHanby @aleaguemen @NewcastleJetsFC Agree Rob. Didn't get a look in. Nothing against Leckie but he barely played this year. Natta for me is very underrated. Had a great season. Burgess has a fantastic engine. Could play every game in a World Cup.

@HansAmato Is it harmful to the stomach though Hans like a lot of NSAIDs? Or if you have Crohns?

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@djebel Big chance. Maybe needs wet track? Lack of speed in the race could be the main concern for a few of these. Top three chance for me despite that.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@omar_alzhra What a match that was btw.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@Torpedo_Punt Well she had no luck first up did she? Oscar's Fortune a huge run in that race too three wide most of the way in a fast run race.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

I don't understand how ROPE THEM IN can be $31 in The Quokka. I took $18 a couple of days ago because I thought that was enormous value for a horse that is 7-1/8 on wet tracks. And was only beaten 1.5L in the Winterbottom last year on a dry track.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@thejudge1 What is track speed? Might be the sort of surface he will enjoy on Saturday. He can still win on a dry surface anyway.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

That was a dominant win on a dry track first up. Just hoping the sting out of the track eventuates. Soft and showers forecast atm.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@football360au @RobbieSlater17 Should be one included in the World Cup squad but doubt it will happen.

[BrisburghPhil @BrisburghPhil]

@EvanWritesOnX That is spot on Evan.
