speed rating tip for Ascot
 

Sat 25 Feb 2006 R8#5 Secchio can turn the tables on Bold Ransom. Will now be rock hard fit and has drawn to get a better midfield run. Returned promising 103 last time. With expected higher pace on today he can improve to 106+. Danger is obviously #2 Bold Ransom (expected 105) who could be going places and watch for #4 Josie's Show to figure prominently.

Good punting
Aaron.

ps. you can see all my selections at my just-for-fun website:
http://cust.idl.com.au/chops/

Thank you for the tip Aaron. I backed Secchio last start, yet it came second. After reading your tip, I'll give it another shot at glory. I would think Bold Ransom will start favourite but Secchio seems to be race fit and hopefully will finally find the line first tomorrow.

PS: Love your web site, great detail indeed. Keep up the great work.

Cape North
 

If you're a Cape North fan the news this morning won't bring a smile to your dial!

Now only an outside chance of racing in this years WA Derby.

Extra weight he put on during his break and a virus are the main factors that have slowed down his preparation.

That is very sad to hear. I was looking forward to seeing him in action again. He will one time become one of WA's best horses.

Its good to see he is eating well though.
