nomates 4,110 Report post Posted March 19 I think the draw works in her favor in this instance , we have seen how electric she is when sat back for the one final sprint , Cylinder drawing one and the evening of the weights will make it tough for him but he is very smart , I would say Queman with his pattern but WFA doesn't help him . I think if she is at her best after her little setback and the race is run honestly then can't see her beaten , might get a nice price to .

Berri had an Exercise-undiced pulmonary hemorrage, it was an internal hemorrage and is different to a bleeding attack where there is bleeding in the nostrils.

So "stand down" bleeding attacks have a nasal origin only -- not in any way pulmonary? And the stipes found this haemorrhage after scoping her after running a very fine second, not tailed off?

Much better than being drawn in the inside half of the field. Leggy is right that on an overall basis "barriers don't matter" to a statistically-significant degree, especially when you consider that most punters think they do and so overbet horses drawn inside and underbet horses drawn outside. But on a case-by-case basis they matter; in this case the wide draw with only one runner outside her means Imperatriz should get a clean start without being hindered, and should land off the fence where she can come wide and round the leaders up late.

Memphis3 1,320 Report post Posted March 20 First thing I look at is the draw. Then the jockey and overall class of the race. Super reluctant to back wide draws unless definite class edge. Obviously everyone differs otherwise we’d all back the same horse. Track conditions and bias or lack of makes a difference. Then wide draws come into play. Whanganui in winter you have to be wide.
