Seriously, Specter at 13's?? Take the overs

I'm pretty keen on Huegill here, his first up effort was good, made solid ground on a leader bias day, step up in distance will suit him and should get a good run from the gate. ill be taking the 7's

Specter was flattered first up and i would be shocked if specter didn't at least get out to $15. You should probably wait if you are that keen to back it.

I have to disagree destiny. I thought his run was full of merit over an unsuitable distance first up. He beat home 4 runners in that race who are currently shorter than him for this race. The current favourite is a horse who couldn't even get pass a horse called at the heads(and let's be honest, it's no superstar). It will relish the 1400m 2nd up, and last prep 2nd up it beat home chase the rainbow over 1400m. Looks the goods to me. Ultra consistent and always go's around well over the odds...

I like Specter too, but the one ill be watching in the ring is sabrage, if it looks the goods i'll have a piece of those odds

The race wasn't unsuitable at all. With the rail out at 7m, and the way the wind was blowing, horses on the inside and on the pace had a huge advantage. on the 26th, only 4 barriers won. Barrier 3 three times, barrier 2 and 1 once and barrier 5 three times. Not a coincidence. In the race of concern, the finishing barrier position were: 2-3-1-4. He had the perfect run and was simply not good enough. A bunched finish further casts suspicion over the strength of the race. Specter will now have to deal with an awkward barrier in a race which looks to have a lot less speed in it than the last.

Onto the race, and Pied a Terre looks to me to be the overs - he was unsuited last start from an awkward barrier (with more on pace horses) and never got into the race. Instalment should cross from the wide gate and get an easy lead, with Pied a terre sliding across outside it, or into the 1-1 position. From here, PAT will be able to control the race and sprint away as he sees fit. He is now 3rd up and comes from a different formline to the rest of these. The only query on Pied a terre, is the question of whether he has the gatespeed to actually do what i just said. The 1400m start is on a turn and he could end up doing a bit of work early. Of the rest, mr milton performed well from a wide gate last start and can improve and instalment should be around the mark with the barrier change.

ill be having a red hot e/w crack at benfica at those odds. Massive overs for a group 1 winner. Tounge tie on hopefully explains last start. Far too much value to ignore

I have to agree with destiny12 and with Pied a Terre. He is overs for sure, I have him at around the $3.90 mark for this.

Also think Specter is way overs as well. I have him around the $5 mark and Huegill $6 or maybe I am reading this race wrong.

Think UNPRETENTIOUS is good thing barrier did not help 1st up, drawn well this time
