Another day in Spring and another town cup on offer. Looking at this field, (3) Royal Performance has the stand-out form. Placing second behind Andrea Mantegna last time out—and fifth to Sovereign Award prior to that—he looks to have them covered today. The Soft track will be a test, and the only negative, while the two kilogram claim by Laura Lafferty is another positive.

(2) Portland Jimmy has a good record on paper, and may look the threat, but he just hasn’t seemed to land the results at this grade.

Happy to take the $2.90 on offer.

The Horse

The Horse found the thought of placing bets and drinking beers much more appealing once he was married, and that led to an interest in the many intricacies of The Great Game. He enjoys the challenge of predicting what will happen in any given race, but also loves horses themselves, none more so than the mighty mudlark Jungle Edge. His focus lies on metropolitan racing in Victoria and NSW, however isn’t afraid to find one out wide. Away from racing, The Horse is an avid drummer – quite a difficult task with a set of hooves.
