How good is Lava Man?

Sorry, but I never saw Oonagh MacCool's terrific performance. It must have taken place at the farm. What I saw was a nice horse that took advantage of good situations. What I also saw was a horse that came out of the blue and disappeared just as quickly. Seems to happen to a lot of those horses from that stable. I will be shocked if she returns and does so successfully. But, hey, I'm wrong all the time.

As for Happy Ticket....she's a very nice and neat horse but I don't have any confidence in her going two turns regardless of what she accomplished earlier this year. To be honest I have never been that big a fan of her chances against a tough field going long.
