On tomorrow at Caulfield..
a great match race between the the unbeaten HARADASUN and last year's Golden Slipper winner MISS FINLAND.
Haradasun is Odds on but respect the Hayes horse. It has won first-up and the Blinkers have gone back on which will help her focus.
even if you don't bet try and get a look at this race tomorrow at 1:25pm

Haradasun for mine. Most Slipper horses are crap as 3 year olds. Been raced into the ground already.

Vasil reckons Haradasun is better than Elvis. So does senior owner Frank Tagg, who owned both horses. Was allegedly doing mid-10 furlongs in training leading up the Vain Stakes.
Zupaone not without a chance either; only beaten once courtesy of that overrated f***wit Damien Oliver.

I really like Perfect Promise in the Memsie, also chuck in Niconero along with the favourites in your multiples.
Activation should also win rather easily in Sydney.
I think $4 is overs for Miss Finland, however just going to leave the whole race alone.
As I looked through the form guides today I just saw all these horses names and thought 'spring's coming'

Yikes. Poor ride from Rawiller though Finland was good to hold him off. Shinn also should've been smarter.

Rawiller has 17 meetings on the sidelines to think about what a shit ride he put in yesterday.

Made some coin in Sydney on Activation however should have trusted my gut and put some money on Ms.Finland.
Memsie was a bit of a nothing race, nothing really fired a shot apart from the winner who was simply sublime.
Is Lad of the Manor gone?

Nope. Just a bit further back in preparation. Same with Omagh. Plenty of time.

I have lost all faith in The Lad after the Australian Cup.
Won't touch it again this spring.
Horse for you all to watch : Excites, chance for the Plate.
Interesting to see today the Cup Weights come out, Our Smoking Joe only 54 on it's back, connections would be over the moon with that.
