The penultimate is a 1400m BM70 where sixteen can run and as I put pen to paper sixteen remain. Map says 3 leads, maybe 12 and 15 stalk, they have drawn the two widest barriers so there's that Plan A or Plan B scenario. Egg or the chicken. My advice, bite the bullet! The resuming MODESTY creates plenty of interest. An Irish bred import that took someones eye, and someones wallet. Hasn't competed for 61 weeks and started only three times since migrating to the land down under, albeit won very well in Sydney 2nd-up (over 1800m). Moved on from Waller (bad sign) but being with Michael Freedman (good sign) suggests the very very lightly raced 6yo still has four legs and this isn't the Cox Plate. Market moves key just now. If not appearing fancied this is potentially a two pronged attack. KADALL would be where I'd next look given it could get a very cosy run up front. Any money for FIRST EMPIRE and I'd be all over it as well.
