I hope the Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks joined me in the feeding frenzy last week and had a fill up with our standout bet paying $3.8 and other winners at $2.1 and $5.6. We have some confidence in Sydney today despite the track being a heavy 8. I am told to expect an upgrade after a race or 2.

Race 1 n9 LADY BE GREAT I have jumped into this at $4.6 this morning. I t is currently being plastered with the corporate bookies by a reliable source. Has no weight against this lot.

Race 2 n6 SOUTHERN SHIMMER Those in the know have pointed out some excellent sections this neddy put down last start.

Race 5 n5 SHE MUST BE OBEYED Looks the only leader here and should control the tempo. Given no help and attacked for the lead at Scone a fortnight ago.

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