Looks like a nice group for the Opunake Cup this weekend. Going with Queens Rose for my preview.

Looking forward to reading it!

Was wondering about something and I know she raced twice last month and all but had North and South been injured?

Nice to see so many horses from last year in this again even if they don't look too threatening for lack of a better word.

No idea if the conditions are right for Illumaniti but would be happy to see her do well against the likes of such outstanding types as Thorn Prince and Queen's Rose.

I just don't think any edition can match last years for me though... that was spectacular!

(Good luck to Cheese Maker in the 7th. Would be awesome to see a little string of wins from him again).

I think Lisa Latta has just been patient with North And South. The horse seems to like rain-affected ground so is probably at her best at this time of year.

Unfortunately my preview probably won't be available, sorry! It's subscription-only. It's a shame how that works, but I guess that's how we get paid!

Meanwhile, exciting times with Snapshot: http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...t-back-in-work

Haha thanks for both of those and yes, a shame for people like me but oh well!

Was looking at Avondale and I see Saved By the Bell entered... wonder if it's nearing time to retire the old boy. Would be fabulous to see him win one.

Come home safe!

Catching up on stuff... so they're not going to reschedule the Opunake Cup?

Fantastic news about Jetset Lad winning!
