I hope Summer Doldrums continus to be ignored, but it's probably only because he looks the part of a very low priced horse. If he's overlaid, in my mind, I would be happy with 4-1, but I'd have to box with Strike A Deal

Inca King looks interesting

It's just a question of whether he's getting good at the right time, or whether his last was because the favorite followed him all the way around (boxed in) while Inca crawled on the front end.

That's the big question. Inca King and Duveen look mighty tough in there, as I think that Inca can probably reproduce the effort from his last.

I'll put my vote in for Soldier's Dancer. Caught wide throughout in the Summer Doldrum's/Strike a Deal race.. will certainly be overlooked Saturday. Better jockey, better post position, better odds. His figs fit with these, he's my longshot play.

Like Duveen quite a bit. Working well according to his owner & trainer. Has shipped well as a 3 year old. Will be stalking the pace and rolling late. Would love to get 5:1

Are the PP's out there anywhere?

Oops...I meant past performances, not post positions...my bad. Thanks anyway.

Circular Quay is the favorite?

My selection doesn't look so bad at 15-1 after all.

I will give you that....

And a 4% rebate.

What odds do you want to give me on the show spot. I know I can obviously get long odds win wise ontrack.

ppdgn says you dont pay...put the money in an escrow account and we'll talk:cool:

Untrue

That's it? I was hoping for more of a reaction than that!

I'm starting to like Blazing Dynamo.

I'm just hoping Kent D. remembers where finish line is and rides hims all the way.:D
