35 on Sunday, 37 on raceday, track hopefully good, sure could be firm. Late start makes the latter scenario all the more likely. Tough breed them Queenslanders - elsewhere, meetings start a helluva lot earlier (if they run at all) rather than punish all involved. If I was 'king for a day' I'd be kicking things at off 11am, 30 minutes between races, done and dusted at half past two. Horses in the shade, humans on the beach - both scenarios in no time at all. You know it makes sense. All one can do is hope no horse jars up, no heat stress subsequently noted in the stewards reports, no strapper nor patron faints, and the bar has free water and ice for those bill-paying owners in attendance. Kick things off with an 1840m Maiden Plate. And it sure looks to be an easy race to be winning. Mercifully a no pace race 'on paper' - most likely no's 1,2,3,7 are the front four in transit. Looks a race in two, bookies will know that. The lightly raced ENJECTOR from the Michael Freedman stable versus the Archibald's equally lightly raced TACITLY. Both beaten fav's at their most recent, the latter at bank teller odds aka $1.35. It gets B1st here.
