Brown fox Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Thought I might narrow the field down by crossing out who couldnt win.Its going to be a damn short list? 1 Quote
Huey Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Some good chances that may be extinguished by their draws ? SP, UTM,AP??? Quote
hesi Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Just looking at the forecast, looks like the rain will hold off enough to leave them with a dead track, which would be great to see the first G1 of the season run on reasonable footing Quote

I'm picking a Slow 7. Edited August 29, 2018 by pete Quote
hesi Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 $20 win bet on the Tarzino that it is no worse than a D5 Quote

Still looks like a significant band of rain heading south today but I'll bow to your knowledge unless you're wrong in which case you might get a small serve for being a weather know it all ? What's far more concerning to me is the fact that the three Trackside presenters have apparently shaved their heads for Daffodil Day. Are they trying to lose what remaining audience they have?? Bevan Sweeney with a shaven head is the stuff of horror movies. Edited August 29, 2018 by pete Quote

hesi Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Hahaha, excuse the pun, but did you think I came down in the last shower. I see on the TAB home page, they have the Tarrzino featured, but when you click on it, it brings up last years race. I can't even put a bet on, a grand on Close Up 1 Quote
