obviously i didnt back it but really it has albany form, many in the race had solid form lines some of them winning formlines like thunderhawk and heavy nova(i backed it). Great ride by Olsen though, I think it was a leaders bias track on the weekend which helped.

cheers

The only thing strange about Chucka Khan winning on Saturday was the shortish price :sad:

Has not missed a place this preparation, start prior to Sat won a class 5 at Albany by 4 lens, has also won at Northam & been placed at Ascot. Last city start (prior to Sat) had excuses when unplaced behind two handy horses - Constantinople & Celtus.

Still sorting my selections for the Fruit 'n' Veg - the additional 200M (1800M to 2000M) makes it a little more trickier (just ask umrum, he has already tipped over half the field :smile: ) - the majority of starters look to be untried over the distance.
