On tomorrow at Caulfield..

a great match race between the the unbeaten HARADASUN and last year's Golden Slipper winner MISS FINLAND.

Haradasun is Odds on but respect the Hayes horse. It has won first-up and the Blinkers have gone back on which will help her focus.

even if you don't bet try and get a look at this race tomorrow at 1:25pm

Haradasun for mine. Most Slipper horses are crap as 3 year olds. Been raced into the ground already.

Vasil reckons Haradasun is better than Elvis. So does senior owner Frank Tagg, who owned both horses. Was allegedly doing mid-10 furlongs in training leading up the Vain Stakes.

Zupaone not without a chance either; only beaten once courtesy of that overrated f***wit Damien Oliver.

I really like Perfect Promise in the Memsie, also chuck in Niconero along with the favourites in your multiples.

Activation should also win rather easily in Sydney.

I think $4 is overs for Miss Finland, however just going to leave the whole race alone.

As I looked through the form guides today I just saw all these horses names and thought 'spring's coming'

Yikes. Poor ride from Rawiller though Finland was good to hold him off. Shinn also should've been smarter.

Glad i didnt go anywhere near a Tab today, it would have been ugly.

First five for Hayes/Williams, standout effort.

Rawiller has 17 meetings on the sidelines to think about what a shit ride he put in yesterday.

Made some coin in Sydney on Activation however should have trusted my gut and put some money on Ms.Finland.

Memsie was a bit of a nothing race, nothing really fired a shot apart from the winner who was simply sublime.

Is Lad of the Manor gone?

Nope. Just a bit further back in preparation. Same with Omagh. Plenty of time.

I have lost all faith in The Lad after the Australian Cup.

Won't touch it again this spring.

Horse for you all to watch : Excites, chance for the Plate.

Interesting to see today the Cup Weights come out, Our Smoking Joe only 54 on it's back, connections would be over the moon with that.
