Religify

This 4yo really grabbed me last start - looks Group class.

Should win again today in a race that looks really suitable. I backed Craftiness last start because of this form and he won exceptionally well. This bloke is superior to Craftiness.

The form around Craftiness is holding up very well. Sunline has a decent record with these things. 

Waller will place him in the right events.

I think Saturday proved he isn't group class. Had an easy enough time in front. Had he been eyeballed it would've been game over

What's his pedigree?

Tnx Djebel. 

If Waller can turn him into a group winner then he's a genius. If you backed the short fav then you would've been half way through tearing up your ticket. He did give another kick near the line but he didn't really beat much did he.

From now on its only going to get harder and I don't think that run was particularly screaming out as a group performer. I can see one of Gai's donkeys being sent upfront to eyeball him and its game over.

You're right. I forgot the race where he got done a neck by a nose or something. My point though largely remains haha!

Suuuummmmmttthhhhiiiinnnnnggggg.

Have him as a lay today.

I have him on top again, this horse is the most improved older horse in Australia. This prep since Nov he is smashing his previous ratings best by 3-4L and is running a lot higher figures for me than when 0.2L off Snippets Land last Qld winter in a G3.

Does his best work when he is just allowed to roll along unchallenged in the lead but I see Classic Uniform, Dark Eyes and possibly Red Excitement putting on some pressure up front which makes me think he will be going backwards a couple of hundred metres out.

If he gets eyeballed by Classic Uniform over 1900m he'll fold like a cheap suit.

Religify is a good horse when allowed to control up front without being pressured.

He still might get away with stealing this race though.

We will see, I think you may find they will take a sit in this if they attack him for the front. He still has a bit on this field imo.

If they allow Classic Uniform to hold the front it's bad news but they probably have enough early pace to cross if they show intent. I can envision a few scenarios were Religify gets favourable conditions but none of them entail taking a sit. If the go hard enough early Classic Uniform may be forced to take a sit behind the leader, Dark Eyes position one out one back, Religify controls and Red Excitement sits OSL for protection. This would be perfect.

Connections believe he can win with a sit. I think he has 2-3L on this field on ability, that doesn't mean he will win but he is on top for me. I have it marked as a 40% of normal stake race for me anyway being 1900m at Rosehill but that is just parameters I place on myself.

Tell them they need go show intent and go out as hard as possible, if they don't like that they should scratch and find another race they can control easier.

People in racing are stupid, connections think he can win with a sit... fark me.
