ANOTHER BUSY WEEK AHEAD
Easter is usually a busy time of the year for everyone and this year is no different. We start the week off with a couple of runners at Ascot on Wednesday followed by two or three at Ascot on Saturday then a couple at Ascot again on Monday. The Easter Monday meeting is a Pinjarra meeting where we see the running of the Pinjarra Cup.
Tomorrow we start off with GOPHER and THUMBUSTER in a 1200m three year old race. GOPHER has done well since her last start victory and THUMBUSTER has improved since his first up run but has struggled to gain a start. They should both give a good account of themselves.
The weekend starts off with AMELIA'S REASON, ST PIERRE and HIFALUTIN all due to take their place on Saturday AMELIA'S REASON will be out to maintain his unbeaten record in the Perth Stakes and he certainly comes up against a quality field. ST PIERRE also strikes a 3yo race full of mystery and intrigue. The set weights and penalties conditions of this race will certainly sound out who is a genuine Derby contender and who isn't. I am hoping that my horse ST PIERRE can make the necessary improvement with his weight advantage and better barrier draw this week. Impressive last start Bunbury winner HIFALUTIN will run in what looks like a very winnable race even allowing for her weight of 58.0kg. The filly is unbeaten at 1400m and I expect her to remain that way after the weekend.
Monday sees the running of the 2008 Pinjarra Cup at Ascot. We will be represented by GUYNO who ran a brave second in last weeks Bunbury Cup. The horse got posted three deep for the entire journey last week and I thought his effort to hold down second place behind the promising Lord's Ransom was a mighty effort. GUYNO will be having what should be his final start for this preparation. He is due to have a good spell before being aimed at the 2008 Caulfield and Melbourne Cups. I know it is ambitious however I honestly feel that with maturity this horse will improve another 4-5 lengths and will be more than competitive in the big spring races. Depending on how he performs tomorrow, THUMBUSTER is likely to butter-up at Ascot on Monday.
