the horses i am familiar with dont bother me too much. CQ is a horse i never liked. summer doldrums is ok i guess, but i'm much more impressed with IK. the same can be said for summer doldrums arch rival in here, strike a deal.
duveen i've already covered, and i'd be shocked if duveen ever finishes in front of IK (in a normally run race).
i havent watched top cross, but he does look interesting. since duveen handled him pretty easily, i'm going to be lazy and toss him out.
the others look a bit cheap on paper, but again, i havent watched them yet.

It would definitely be a good strategy if he was entered since it's a good chance he could be over-looked by most in the contest. It seems most shoot for the bigger names.
I, for better or worse, just added Pleasant Strike and After Market to my stable. I've always really liked Strike A Deal...I think I've been striken with a love of Smart Strike and didn't even know it.
Not sure what to make of the other fillies in the CCAO. I guess it's best to save the moves.
