Kiwia

If Kiwia races up to his best and runs the 2400m, as I fully expect him to then he wins. I've rated him a $1.85 chance.

Kiwia looks pretty good to me.

$2.00 seems about right.

Yep noticed that doing the form for Caulfield today Marscay. Not favoured at the weights compared to Kiwia but if he stays better that won't matter. Hayes named Charlevoix as his best this weekend.

Good ride by Craig Williams today to get Kiwia home

That was a perfect example of Australian racing.

Bingo Bango......The Big Anchor gets home for many of us.

Too Good, a very good ride.

One of the biggest advantages the big trainers have are the Jockeys they have access too.

Throw enough you eventually hit.

Next spring for him Max.       He didn't finish it off today.

    It was his for the asking the way it was run.     

I was unsure he runs a strong 2400m before the race and still unsure after. I realise he's won over the trip. Just think he's better over 2000m.

He was up against a horse who ran 4th in a Melbourne Cup
For a horse having its first prep I would say this is an enormous feat.
He may have one more run this prep in the Queen Elizabeth before going out.

All things considered, I would call him ‘brave’. He ran a super race, just beaten by a bloody good horse.
