The So You Think – 25th February 2017

So You Think

The Comeback Kid

I find this a challenging race, with chances to a few runners. Reds Breeding Stud has Red’s Stormborn running, and he expects a good run from her. She will enjoy the 2050m. Jesse is consistent, and there is little between her and Libra Starz on form. Libra Starz is already a cup winner, and she is expected to confirm her excellent form.

1. Red’s Stormborn

Overall rating: Satisfactory(49) – Mud-lark
Born:Fri 7th Oct 2016, bred by Sootie
Lineage:By Roheryn out of Brass Door
Recent form:1,4,2

Stable comments: -“Storm ran a fine heat, she’s got some nice rapport with Randa and I am expecting the pair to have a strong showing. Obvious worries are from Libra Starz and Jesse who both come from elite racers in Woody and Ghana. I am looking forward to testing myself and my horse against such auspicious stables.”

2. Libra Starz

Recent form:1,1,1,1

Stable comments: -“Libra Starz is coming on nice like her stablemate not quite timed the training that said she a fighter will plug away and be in the mix. I see Red stayer as a top chance he has his horses in good form and in the heat powered home. Jesse ghana muddie one to watch I paid no attention to the heat run this filly will be in the money and going off ghana recent efforts in cups the one to beat.”

3. Wild Amber

3yo filly from Force, Career earnings: $545,780
Overall rating: Satisfactory(47) – Mud-lark

Stable comments: -“”I chose to race Wild Amber in the heat against Libra Starz and Red’s Stormborn to see how she went, but unfortunately she got completely outclassed. Hopefully I can tweak a few of her stats and change the RIs and close the gap. Libra Starz is definitely the one to beat, and I can only hope hope to beat her.”

Stable comments: -“Jesse came 2nd in the Grand Prix stakes. The aim is to go one better and win the SYT cup. Jesse is in fine fettle and it will come down to running a good race on the day. The winner of the Grand Prix Libra Starz looks good so it will be a tough race. The others that catch the eye are Red’s Stormborn, Time Soprano and Wild Amber“.

Stable comments: – Our stable does’nt have a chance in winning for several reasons, but I still like to push my horses against the big stables sometimes, just for fun. The Mudders have it obviously due to the weather. My money would be on LIBRA STARZ. My good buddie/trainer, Woodchuckers.. I don’t know how he does it. He has so much faith in his horses. He know them very well, Keeps the same jockey on for experience with the horse. (Claudette Ramesh). LIBRA is a mudder, and has beaten most, if not all of the entries in the SYT Cup. Even though some horses have more XP in both distance and conditions. There are 3 other horses that catch my eye, and will definitely place well(all mudders also)… 

JESSE – by going with xp only, Jesse should win this, as he has 10/8 in xp. Has the same jockey riding, but for some reason just cannot cut the mustard.

REDS STORMBORN – Red is always amongst the top stables winning Cups. With his xp of 8/7 and the same jockey up, this horse will definitely place in my top 4.

TIME SOPRANO – With xp of 6/5 and same jockey up,and won his last SYT race, another solid runner to watch…(but wont win)

Basically, I think that the 16th Dec race when all of my picks were in the same race (and it was an extremely close race) it will come out with all 4 placing, with LIBRA STARZ winning!

The 16th Dec race placings;

LIBRA STARZ
JESSE
TIME SOPRANO
REDS STORMBORN

My predition;

LIBRA STARZ
JESSE
RED STORMBORN
TIME SOPRANO

Stable comments: -“Well with me being a new trainer I am just hoping to make a decent showing with Jack B Nimble. He ran 5th in his heat with an apprentice jockey. I have hired a pro to hopefully do a little better. I believe Jesse and Libra Starz will be hard to handle. My prediction would be 1. Jesse 2. Libra 3. Red.”

Stable comments: -“Very happy with my bloke & conditions will suit. Not real happy with my jockey but we should be competitive anyway. Libra Starz looks a big chance & Jesse should go close after running dead in the heats. Good luck all.”
