Apr 8 Ascot - girl vs boy
 

WA Carnival in full swing next Saturday, Ladies Day, with the WA Oaks. Wave Rock the favorite.

Following Saturday there's the WA Derby and of course the 2YO Karrakatta Plate. From this weekends racing we're in for an almighty clash with two outstanding 2yos.

Paris Petard will no doubt start favorite as she carried 58.5kg and will drop to 53.5kg, won 5/5, and won twice over the Ascot 1200m. She also ran about 4lens faster in her last 600m sectional than the c&g division. S.Mcgruddy looked to be working a bit on her on the turn then she let down brilliantly.Fred Kersley has another good one.

Canny Jack will carry 56kg(from the 55kg on Sat.) and had some front end speed to help him. But his potential is really untapped. He picked them up in about 3 strides then J.Whiting let him float along the last 50m. The 1200m should also suit him. Champion trainer George Daly.

With some other races like St.Leger, Sires' Produce, Strickland, Hyperion quality racing will be at both ends of Australia. Bring it on!

Bring it on!
 

Yep, bring it on anchor! Geez, can't remember being this excited re the Karrakatta Plate..think we might have two really good 2YOs that could easily make their mark over east in the future, assuming HK doesn't get them first!

Apr 8 Ascot - another girl vs boy clash
 

Thought I read some where that Wave Rock's main mission is the Derby? Not sure if the report mentioned also running in the Oaks.

In any case could be another girl / boy clash of great interest - Wave Rock Vs Scenic Shot.

Watching with interest for results of today’s trials at Belmont in particular the performances of Metallic Storm winner 5 from 6 and having her 2nd trial since a spell, won the last. And Mr Sandgroper returning from a spell and an unsuccessful short stint east.

Forget about any clash - Wave Rock is gone, broke down in training this morning & probably will be retired.

Wave Rock
 

Shocking news for connections and trainer Caroline Grant. Sustained a strained near fore flexor tendon during track work at Ascot this morning.

Oaks winning chances for the likes of Moodometer and perhaps Imaginaire and Say Cherie (both having problems of their own) obviously greatly enhanced.

Miss Andretti sold
 

The Fighting Tigress has been sold (75%) to victorian Shaun Buckley (owner of Perfect Promise) and will now be trained by Lee Freedman.

Former trainer and owner David Mueller retains the other 25%.

Ventured West
 

Albany Wednesday...

Blinkers come off PUSHY PRINCESS in race 2. The former Victorian 4YO mare has not started since August 2004 and finished midfield in a recent Lark Hill trial. Would expect she’ll need a few runs to get race fit. Perhaps a small speculative EW wager just in case.

Hold Your Hennessy blew them both away eagle1. Won very easily. Metallic Storm not pushed out to be a well beaten 2nd. Mr Sandgroper big in condition finished well back.

Hold Your Hennessy looked very good initial prep (they even took him to Melbourne). Last prep disappointing. Might see the real Hold Your Hennessy this time around, did look good in the trial.

Greys winning everywhere at the mo! OCTOBER GREY won the WEETWOOD a few mins back, TRIB just won the 2nd at GERALDTON! :)

go the greys!

Almost!! ONE IOTA beaten a nose, 1 more stride wins....DRYSDALE a fighting 3rd, 1 len further back!

go the greys!
 

Was fun while it lasted - Grey Feather the only grey in the next at Geraldton...me thinks our little run has ended :rolleyes: .....for the time being anyhow! ;)

didnt get a lot of room in the straight, might pay to follow

and old Elvis decides to put his mind on the job for a change! doesn't his leadup form read well :D

Did look some chance for a while, was getting ready for the old 'egg on the face' bit :lol:

as for Elvis surely you backed him :eek: 1 win around every 13 starts, he WAS due :D

WA OAKS
 

On the subject of greys fav Moodometer looks the one to beat on Saturday. Liked the way she got to the line last start when ridden back a little.

2nd fav Imaginaire the hardest to beat. 2400 should suit her down to the ground.

Anchor them with Kyelldee, Moondalo & Annibrook in the novelties.
