Top hat and tails day at Royal Randwick today. Hoping to enjoy lobster and champers in the members stand after collecting on a few of our mail horses.

Race 1 n5 CONROY’S GAP Lacks the experience of most however this neddy ran super sectionals in its trial.

Race 2 n3 DIVORCES My only worry is the barrier in a race that seems to lack true pace. Our ratings man tells me this is the best of the ratings today and we cannot ignore that great advice.

Race 7 n1 JIMMY CHOUX How are they going to beat this in the Derby? Well our pro punter friend says we should all load up on it. He says until now there has not been a Derby horse with a sprinting finish since Kingston Town. He believes JIMMY CHOUX will change that.

Race 8 n1 GRACEFUL ANNA Looms as great each way value if you ignore its last run when it pulled up poorly. I am told by a trackman that it has grown a leg since and it certainly has class on the opposition.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
