Moonee Valley tonight...
Oh lest I forget:
Champion jockey Damien Oliver will miss the Moonee Valley meeting after standing on a sea urchin in Mauritius.

R1, win on Hippopus (7/1?). I realize Bagman is at 8/5 on the morning line but who gets the mount with Damien off?
R2, win on Devonshire Duke (10/1) and using Charles in Charge underneath
R3, thank you, Sacred Flyer, for handing out free cash. Odds won't be much but whatever.
Will use Crafty Cruiser underneath. God speed, Zabeelionaire, who I like so much (but will not be using) Did a super... SF / CC / Diamond Jim, Mulaqun, Use this Lot / all
R4, tiny w/p on Broken because while he might not be Lord of the Sky things happen.
R5, pass (Empress O'Reilly will be bet down to nothing so a nice race to watch and enjoy)
R6, fun betting race! W/p on I Am the General (m/l is 12/1 but that will go down a little I'd imagine) and an exacta... I Am the General / Boomwaa, Gold Force, Brouhaha, Forgive and Forget. Place bet on Brouhaha.
R7, W/p on Under the Louvre. I do like Sea Lord and Mr. Make Believe and hope they have safe trips home. I feel really good about this one though and actually anticipate he'll be at better odds than the 9/2 morning line.
R8, Tiny exacta... The Cleaner / Blackie
R9, KInda like Mossmoney but I think I might pass... still pondering.
Good luck if you're playing tonight and happy birthday (well a day late) to the kids but especially to the older guys.
(I mean can your heart not be touched by the sight of Might and Power celebrating his 21st?)
