Azkadellia

This is my long range bolter Oaks tip. I called Zanbagh last year around this time, and she ran a great 2nd in the race.
They don't trial any better than this horse did at Cranbourne a few weeks ago. I think Ciaron Maher has something pretty good on his hands.
Caulfield is not going to be her track, she will love Flemington, but I look forward to her racing on Saturday.

She's terribly weighted for a horse that's only won a maiden and a 64, but it's not a strong race, and if she lives up to the trial, then she wins.

I took $51 as a speculator. Agree she will be cutting it very fine to even get there.

I think Bella Capri is no slouch and can also win tomorrow.

BB from Deane Lester this morning + Leebaz & Anatina, fwiw 

That will do me.....

Soo close sub, moral beaten!

If you'd done the form, which you clearly haven't, you would have known that the filly has always been a shocking barrier rogue which inevitably comes out last or near last.  Horses like that are frequently going to be dicey prospects and "good things beaten".Actually thought Payne displayed great skill in the straight to get her that close.

You know nothing Vincent,

Michelle Payne is in with the stewards atm.

They are simply asking her how she got her jockeys licence?

Great ride for the future of the horse , settled well held up by slow horses early , got a great run through ,finished brilliantly , stick with her ,   great run from a 4 horse country maiden win to lead it into The Oaks.

.@mj_payne tells @RVStewards she elected to go inside in straight as it would have been too much for Azkadellia to go around with them 59.5

Hi Michelle, if you get a chance study how Brad Rawilier rode Straum Star in the second race, this will give you a clue. Cheers.

This is why you can't give horse to small stables or back them with confidence. They do things like put on Michelle Payne.

Funny what happens when you put a jockey with two hands and a brain on.

That was a no. I'm miles behind after missing with a few big go's.

          Good to see the stewards did not agree with some of the goofs on here ,   after looking at the replay they said " THEY HAD NO CRITICISM OF HER RIDE "      Why would you want to hunt a young horse out of the barrier and risk teaching to overace .
