End the arvo with an 1800m BM65. Again a field of Melbourne Cup proportions but no fewer than eight emergencies. Hence, again first thoughts are jotted down on tissue paper more so than set in stone. The rule of thumb is only sixteen partake when the prizemoney is too tempting to stay home. One day that penny should drop. Until then it's a game of deductions lotto, a poor cistomer experience. Down to business, remaining pace resides with 8,9,15,16 in particular 16. HEROIC REBEL is going well enough to be in this mix. The lesser pace a plus. The stablemate ADDITION was a complete forgive in town last start, tempo against, in traffic too. ARDUOUS gave a good sight this track/trip latest. The lesser pace a plus. Kris Lees has new blood via the 1st emergency, the filly CRATHIE KIRK. She rewarded the banktellers that 'made the trek' to Coffs Harbour last start (sp'd $1.24). KERKORIAN good latest, chance on that.
