Only had his second start today resuming off a 16 week layoff .. debuted back in june abit green in the home straight charging late narrowly beaten 


Loved his recent trial definately looks a more polished animal displaying plenty of early speed this time around powering away by 6L and although he didnt beat much today it was the way he did it  


Avdulla had him throttled early never moved on this colt until the 300m and the race was all over 


Hes got within .26 of the track record .. had this colt been given his head on the bend brakes fully released no doubt he would of smashed IT …


Be interesting where they GO with this Snitzel Colt he looks very promising !!

Steps up to listed level on Saturday and its a shame about the weather looks like the track will be a MESS 

Have no idea how he'll get through it but took the $6.00 TAB to find out 

Still raw this colt but in the Autumn I think he'll be the REAL DEAL

Prefer the $16/3.50 about the Tenor which I took earlier today, but best of luck particularly as you appear to have secured clear overs.

Non one seems to be giving Ronstar a hope. Any reason?

Did you take much from the run in the track conditions today?

Thought the run was good 

Travelled deep pulled back the 3L margin pretty quickly and strong through the line 

Much better horse on top of the ground and if he gets it in the Coolmore hes a live chance

Im ramping it UP 


Ill tell you why 


This colt over the 1300m was in 2nd n 3rd gear for 3 quarters of the race Avdulla only pulled the trigger at the 300m hes a rangy type takes a few strides to really hit top gear …….and he raced away eased down on the line half a length off the track record if Avdulla redlined him in that race he would of obliterated it ….still has that high head carry so hes got plenty of natural improvement 


Even on the soft track he was ambling up to them when a few were off the bit he looked the winner along way out ……hes got cruising speed this horse hes packing all the weapons imo


He wasn’t completely comfortable on the soft either but look how strong he was on the line edging away he’ll run a mile on his ear 


Flemington straight 1200m on a reasonable surface this colt will be just working through his gears stalking the speed and when let him GO I think he’s a chance


He wasn’t in the market until after yesterdays run so $9.00 is the best I could get I dont think he’ll be double figures come race day so im cool with it 


Zousain and Written By have the form on the board no doubt about it this Colt will be swimming in the deep end for sure 


And MELB CUP day we will find out !! 


Im even more confident now that Carioca thinks hes nothing and overrated hes still stuck in the 50s n 60s banging on about the past ….in the now he struggles Wink

They run very few 1300m races at Kensington.  The current record holder won just 2 of 13 starts which rather puts matters into true perspective.

And if so, what's the point of mentioning/crediting his Kensington run?

Ada,I don’t understand.
Does not thinking he’ll be double figures on race day,mean you think he’ll start around about 9’s?
If so,why is 9 all in,a good idea?
