Comments: Our selection yesterday, Protesta, has a heart as big as Roger. Never to be backed again. Harsh, I know. But fair. Stawell 2-10 Rincewald was in the market at his first run when finishing midfield in a reasonably strong 1400m Maiden at Bendigo. Steps up in trip and this is much weaker so trainer Moody would want to see a better effort. Stawell 5-4 Perero took a while to break his duck but he did the job in good style and these RB62 events are pretty weak so he should run well again. Stawell 8-1 Cool Point put together three on the trot before an even effort in this grade last time out in the highweight race at Pakenham when all horses on the day were ridden by jumps jockeys. Wayne Hokai will handle him better and he should go well.

Black Book: Moonee Valley 5-11 In The Shadows has won 2/5 for the BB returning more than $16 and nearly got home last time. He'll race right on the pace and looks a great e/w chance again. Moonee Valley 6-8 Lazer Sharp has won 4/10 as a BBer also at a nice profit. Didn't do much first up at his run run for the Hayes' stable. Is heading towards the Cups so would want to show up here. As people know, Moonee Valley 6-10 Master O'Reilly has been my long range Caulfield Cup horse for yonks. He's not qualified for that race yet so connections would be keen to score here to gain a start. Given the way he won last time he should go close again.
