Yeah, carpark again, although barrier 10 shouldn't be that bad in a 1550 metre race.
I'm not going to have a punt as the only time I didn't he win, it was also the only time the missus came and watched him run with me.
Positives: Hurdle is back on board him and horse know each other well. The trainer is extremely happy with his trackwork, in particular a run he had Saturday morning. I'm not having a bet on him.
Negatives: The carpark drawer. Hurdle is generally hit and miss. At this stage the missus isn't going to the track.
Send him to the paddock, bring him back at Gawler or Murray Bridge and we load up on him at around $6.

Should be entering 1200m races, that's his forté it seems, they just haven't worked out whether he needs to lead or come home, he can't do both and at the moment he isn't mastering either.
But yeah, he hasn't had a regional run and I'm forever hearing how great his trackwork is, I'm the first to admit that I'm a sore loser with this type of thing, I was filthy on Saturday.

Beaten by some good horses Saturday. I agree with you that it's hard to pinpoint exactly where he fits in the speed maps. Doesn't seem to have the finish as a backmarker. Thinking Pace or Off Pace probably suits on the evidence we've seen so far. Just hard to get to those spots from the recent gates. Promising early speed though, at that level he needs an easier trip in transit IMO.

That's the dice you roll by only competing at Morphettville, he's always in good company, he's only 3 still so there's time for him and us to learn.

No double but I did back the little master in R8. Also added value to the quaddie
I had a few goes on MM rides the previous two weeks, forgot about him this week He’s a great little jock up there, regularly gets something home at a decent price.

Will be backing up this weekend in a 1400m race either at Morphy or Balaklava, judging from the race review by the trainer he thought the same thing as I did on many accounts, he did think drawing a wide barrier made the camp indecisive and a roughie made him work a bit harder than he should've early.

Knotted is also nominated for race 6, a 1250m race.
Watching the replay of Kingsgrove from Saturday would suit LHM if he just sat behind him entering the first turn, I have a bit more confidence in a 1400m race than the 1600's, that's where the money but he wasn't up for the journey yet against the quality that was getting around.
