Seems like some confidence behind Angkor Wat. Seems too short to me, or is it justified?

R8) 14 Killala 18-1 SCRATCHED

Jocks made the plane

Direct Route
Baylisiana
Fear Not
Miracle Bureau
Seattle Flame

Greef/Cheyne testimonial today. At least 4 winners

SEATTLE SWING - traveling like a winner last time but baulked and eased late - the 4kg give him an added advantage 16-1 and 216/100 4 places

Any updates on whether we race today?

You never know, with all of the people off, the pools may get a boost

Jockeys are on the plane so I would think there is no problem

I concur Mr H, must have at least place claims at fair value. Have done a small e/w double on the appie jockey/trainer combo with Easy Street in the finale.

In that race you refer to Oswego was also unlucky in running and has claims. It is an open race (R4) but with the Shams coming back to form on Wednesday (good to see!) I like Lake Katawa for the win with Taku Wind right there.

In R3 I think long long long time maiden Messageinabottle is worth a small e/w. I was on Angkor Wat lto but am not convinced the step up in trip will be to his advantage though I could be very wrong. Most of the others towards the top end of the market have questions to answer for me. MIAB is probably better over these longer distances, not striding last time over c&d but 2 prior efforts saw him 3rd and a 2.6l 5th. Have nibbled at 25s.

In R6 Miracle Bureau looks value to me, recent form may have been disappointing but solid form priior to that and with the blinkers removed a return to form might be forthcoming.

With the appie taking weight off, a repeat of Easy Street's effort lto must give her a very decent e/w chance in the last, 10s looks value imo.

Be(s)t of luck to all
