Rock Spark is a value e/w bet from the stable.

Hot Talk (race 5) and He's A Witness (the last) will also be hard to beat.
I have gone Rock Spark into Collywobble. I think it's an Omen bet :shock: :lol:

Seem to shy away from something around the 500m mark from the start and again on the home turn and was not settling. Once settled he took off. May have to look at blinkers.

Amazing how 800m and 900m races are the norm now. We used to call them Barrier trials. :P

It's mostly just Qld though. 1000m is the shortest you'll see in WA.

Invitto pulled up a bit tender in her knees (the ones we spent $4k on), she's responded well to some treatment over the weekend. Will have a gallop on Friday to see where she's at.

That's good news. Yes only in Queensland, maybe they make them shorter during summer because with daylight savings the days are longer and hotter. :shock: Winter might be too cold as the days are shorter.

Invitto is finished. Her knees are shot.

She will be used as a broodmare by the majority owner.

Well, wel, well.... Ben decided to swim and nurse her this last week. She had a gallop yesterday and went ok. She gets a shot at another race on Saturday at Dalby.

Running over the 1000m, drawn wide and against her stable mate Isis Magic who's very sharp... don't know if she can pinch this, but, if she's at her best, who knows!

I'm due for a big weekend... this could be it 8)
