Why is this horse $3.90 and only second fave today? Should be $3 and fave, surely? Excellent debut in stiff grade behind the promising Graff. Should lap up the extra 100m and horses like him take a leap forward at their second start with the aid of experience. He will get back and maps a bit ugly for 1400m Warwick Farm, but the fave isa lso likely to be back there or risks sitting deep if they try to slot in midfield. He's a horse I'm sure they plan to run in the JJ Atkins if he earns his way there, starting with this maiden today. ------------- Sunline...simply supreme |

$3 with Press Box out is still backable IMHO. ------------- Sunline...simply supreme |

Shocking name for a race horse. |

Gotta agree this horse looks the one, even before the scratching which is disappointing. I have doubts over the stable, I simply do not understand the placement of their horses at times. But they always have a decent horse among the bunch, and this boy could be their latest. |

Well there's a lesson there in backing backmarkers in general, but especially 1400m races where you can strike a walk like he did there. Back, fought the rider, pushed very wide on circling, mathematic impossibility. ------------- Sunline...simply supreme |

For whatever reason I thought A. Cummings had the horse? Hence my previous comments. As for the run, I only listened, but it sounded like a bit of a car crash. |

That's the variables of racing. Always tack on a few points to horses on the speed who make their own luck. So much can go for wrong for backmarkers. I thought the horse still ran pretty well. Let down well. But couldn't possibly win given the nature of the race. |

Strange comment. Hayes has more than one decent horse. Probably has 40 or 50 |

Already acknowledged that I mistakenly thought he was with Cummings
