Next Kal
 

The fav Revealing Light looks hard to beat

Sand George and Turnaround look OK Ew

Super Sentele can go OK fresh

The Den won well last start after getting beat a long way Revealing Light previously

At most recent Belmont trial both Hartleys Dream and Zed Power looked well when running 1/2 in the fastest heat of the day. Hartleys Dream whose most recent win was the listed Farnley Stakes was ridden by the pontiff whilst Zed Power who disappointed last campaign was ridden by Steven Parnham. Both horses have performed fresh in the past.

Interesting to see how Zed Power comes up, westman. A year ago blew away a field over the Belmont 1200 then last preparation at Ascot didn't get warm. Only had the 17 starts for a 5yo.

Zed Power
 

Something definitely amiss with Zed Power last prep. Showed his usual early dash to lead them up first-up but compounded although fought on pretty well in the Crawford behind Electic. Then raced near the tail next 2 starts after slow getaways. Being an entire perhaps his mind was on other things :rolleyes: Definitely better than that & has raced well this time of year previously. Goes OK all types of track. I’d be expecting early success if he’s going to show his true colours this time around.

I notice that handy stayer Mafeking ran 3rd in the trial. Like Zed Power had a shocker last campaign but being this far forward after a 5 month break could be a good sign.

And in case nobody noticed the smart Avenido Madero finished 5th same trial! Obviously they're taking her along quietly at this point in time.

Desperate Measures?
 

Geez, looks like Adam Durrant is getting a bit desperate with his ‘unlucky’ galloper Etcetera Etcetera.

Considered a good thing beaten last 2 by many judges Etcetera Etcetera on Wed will race with the addition of blinkers (one-eye blinker – left) and a lugging bit!!

Will be very interesting to see what Adam does next if those gear changes don't reap a positive outcome ;)

TRUE STEEL
 

True Steel is finally set to make his jumps debut at Flemington this Saturday. Nominated for both the 3200 and 3400 events trainer Robbie Laing has indicated a likely preference for the shorter race. True Steel has been schooling well although Laing was slightly disappointed with his last trial over the fences.

Plastered
 

Back in work :)
