The form during the Winter Racing Challenge was all favoring early speed on the dirt. It's been a bit different at the Carnival.

I have one placing from my four top picks on the day. It's been a rough go so far!

It seems as though if you miss the break from a low draw, you have no chance, but if you hold up towards the outside you have an outstanding chance. Usually (like I have said) I like seeing horses up with the pace on the dirt as they usually keep finding, but not today.

Maybe the recent rain they have had has made a slight difference to the bias on the dirt track.

Hoping for much better with Far From Old who was slightly unlucky last time and hopefully they go a good gallop today.
