[NoChanceToDance]

Went to the valley yesterday, good day. Nicconi looked very impressive in the sprint off that suicudal early speed.

The horse who looks very smart though is Hayes' horse that won earlier in the card.

Had a massive bet on Hot Danish at Rosehill and thrilled with Racing To Win, what a ride from Hugh!

SUNCORP BUSINESS BANKING TEA ROSE STAKES

More Joyous (Duh)

THE AGE CAULFIELD GUINEAS PRELUDE

Manhattan Rain / Trusting, Phelan Ready

SIR RUPERT CLARKE STAKES

Wow nice field! Orange County (I'm not giving up) and Masked Assassin, either order.

ROKK EBONY UNDERWOOD STAKES

A great rooting race! As long as Efficient or Whobegotyou wins, I'm good. (Love Zarita and C'est La Guerre too).

NATURALISM STAKES

Possibly Cats Fun. Not sure...

* * *

Why did I think I Am Invincible was running this weekend?

You're joking right? It's the worst Gr1 field I have seen for many years. On quality you couldn't even call it a Gr3 really.

All American is likely to pop up in a race like this at massive odds.

* * *

I'm pretty keen on Delago Bolt in the Guineas prelude, he's been crying out for 1400 and now they seem to have found the key to him - ride him as a closer. He's a very talented horse but has his quirks.

* * *

I'm not much of a fan of Whobegotyou, but can't see him getting beaten today.

* * *

Forgot to mention the horse I told you all about a couple of weeks ago, Definitely Ready. He won at Sandown on Wednesday and broke the track record on only his second start. He ran a shade over 55 seconds for 1000m! He's a serious horse.

Not joking at all. Any race with Orange County, Masked Assassin, Mr. Baritone and Jungle Ruler is a nice field to me.

Nice call on Definitely Ready.

Fair enough, it's seriously lacking quality though for a Gr1. I'm on All American at $40
