Cliff's Edge

Agree Macca. If they ever win doing that you have yourself Might And Power.

Weir had a quiet day at the office, surprisingly

The 22sec from the 1400 to the 1000m spelt the end for Cliff.     The winner went forward too and had the perfect   sit 1 out , with the field spread out.    The heavily backed runner up improved on his previous .

   I split the sides laughing at their benchmark ratings .
When Grunt beat Cliffs Edge previous they gave Grunt a rating of 69 .
Peaceful State 3.5L away they gave him 77 (Why)
Yesterday they gave Grunt 84,    Peaceful State 77    ?????
    My ratings Grunt 69.5        Peaceful State 69 =   Doesn't that make more sense.    Bring Me Roses 65.5 etc.

I agree Macca. What do you think of the $2.5?

Has he bounced back from the hard run in the Guineas Shawy?  Looks a good thing if he has. 

Geez hard seeing him get beaten tonight. The only on pace runner in the field. Just has to go at his cruising speed and no one will best fast enough to run him down.

J Allen just lost thr plot last time usually a vety good jcokey though.

Agreed with Mott he is very smooth when in front and knows when to lift the tempo when needed.

Sit and steer job imo

Punters see no pressure whatsoever on him early which means Astoria and Levendi will have to run good late sectionals to beat him.  Not interested at the price but if he gets to 1.80+ (possibly tote) I might be

Love this horse. Very well deserved win. Will be hard to beat in the Rosehill Guineas, assuming they go there.

Perfectly rated by Mott so no-one would bother trying to take the lead. Good job those who got in early. Looked a treat in the parade, almost asleep.

He’s as tough as they come. Reminds me of horses from 20-30 years ago, they don’t make them like that anymore.

They’re unsure what to do with him now, Sydney or give him a break.

Congrats to this horse

Allen back on today, top 3 looks a certainty

He hung badly on the turn, Sydney way of going brought him undone
