Comments: Yesterday's selection ran OK for 2nd, all things considered. I don't think it's much of a horse, though, and will be happy for it to never be a POOMA again. Mildura 6-1 Spanish Moon returned from a spell and ran his best ever race when winning one of those crappy Restricted races at Swan Hill. He jumps 3.5kg to 58kg in a field where most of them look to be a chance. I won't be going anywhere near the $2.50 on the morning line. Warwick Farm 3-2 Master Magic has been in really consistent form, winning 2 and placing 5 times from his 7 starts. He comes out of 3YO races into a 3YO+ race here today but looks to have everything in his favour. At Caulfield doesn't 5-1 Shrewd Rhythm just win after his 3rd in the Blue Diamond? El Segundo looks to have a mortgage on the Futurity with Seachange for 2nd. The Victoria Gold Cup looks a bit of a lottery so I'll stick with the consistent Belmonte. If Let Go Thommo is ever going to open his account in Victoria then the JRA Stks looks the perfect race to do it in. A few go well fresh but he's got form in much better races than the others.
