sixgoalhero 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2012 Does the draw really hurt ARs chances? There is going to be speed on, just needs to get ITMQ going earlier than he wants to to and track him in. Will be interesting what mr feelgood does, when interviewed on friday night john mccarthy seemed to suggest he would take a trail on SU. I dont think SU is handling the track anywhere near well enough to win, ITMQ should just win with AR being the blowout chance.

Might suit those coming from the back - plays into ITMQ hands a bit better than AR... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

globederby 8 Report post Posted February 26, 2012 Mr feelgood is in the perfect possie. I cant see him handing up to any of those just outside him,so that gives him the luxury of getting some soft sectionals untill SU comes round or ITMQ attacks early. If McCarthy wants to stay parked all the better,no need to force the pace. Su is a very hard horse to come around 3 wide,only ITMQ has the sheer speed,and I think from 10 AR is up against it. Barring a shambles I think Mr Feelgood has become a very good bet from 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Unit 1 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 AR to win for me..... The pressure will be on up front.... A swooper from the back will win it.... put the pipe down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruff 2,778 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 The question is at what point will su get around to the parked position, it may take close to a lap,and once there getting around him will take some doing, so the horse 3 wide has little chance and 3 wide cover has to cover extra ground wide but will be in the best attacking position depending on when flushed out . The leader will be tough to stop, and with the track record in heats feelgood will be tough to roll. The winning of this race may be entering the back the final time, itmq unleashing a sub 27 quarter 4 wide. One thing is for sure, a sub 1.55 mr for 2500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
globederby 8 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 ITMQ will have to go quicker than a sub 27 4 wide with AR on its back just waitng to explode for Sir A M BUTT..... AR will finish like Shakamaker did a few years back.... In fact anyone going to the course would pay not to get to close to the fence for fear of severe windburn!!! I see you havnt put the pipe down yet. I dont normally make predictions only observations from given data,and while I respect AR as a top horse, he wont win from out there . Full stop.......

He is a fast beginner and everyone seems to have conceded mr feelgood will lead, if su runs the gate he can get there very quickly, he cant win from the death so surely just declares mr feelgood on early, if they do go hard i would expect itmq to just launch down the back straight and win by a space.

Gruff 2,778 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 The 2004 jofess win from the inside is a good indicator for what is required. All heart must of beaten jofess out by close to two lens but buck the odds just got under it to give jofess the lead around the first corner,and hence the race.Cant see a problem as we have seen feelgood burn early in the past, and would be mad to hand up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put me down for another one that thinks MF will hold the lead. Those little tracks just make it so easy for the one horse to do it if they have any gate speed. the real question is what does MF do when Justice has another attack to go to the front after the initial burn. I will be betting MF holds up as it is the only chance of him winning (hand up he trails SU and no chance to run past him, or is pocketed if SU doesnt kick on). So then we have a classic swoopers race as they have run hard off the front - ITMQ should win, but I will be covering with AR as could get the drag into it behind ITMQ. There easy !

There easy ! thats the thing, i think justice knows his onyl chance of winning is by getting to the front so he doesnt give ITMQ a cart into the race. hopefully we will see a record run here but i dont think MF will be brave enough to try and keep SU parked the whole way, i think you could be right chelseacol, MF may hold off the first challenge but i dont think he will hold off SU second challenge if still parked.

I just think a few will be wanting 1/1 and in their haste may post su out for more than he'd like.when jofess won in 2004 here he got away with a 62 and change 800 and only just got there with wide runners swooping late..if smokey wasnt 100%, and he did look a little scratchy last week then the trailer becomes knockout chance. Was a big finishing second to smokey in the heats...... To much spoin, let's just see how it pans out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Falcon 81 Report post Posted February 28, 2012 How does the trailer become a knockout chance at that venue when it does not have a sprint lane.Do you really think that in a $1million race that the frontrunner is going to come of the fence you have to be dreaming.With a field of that nature there are lots of scenarios that could happen and the major one to me that happens often is a major player breaking in the run up which would change the whole complexion of the race Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
