Welcome to Queensland on a hot sunny Saturday . For the running of the Arcade Handicap Grade II . It has been a disruptive week on the sim and one wonders wether these trainers have been able to get the work into their charges that they would have liked. The race is a mile on turf and the track is very firm with little rain having fallen in the last few weeks. Some locals say it is the driest they have seen in many a year. A field of 11 greet the starter here. They are in the birdcage so lets take a look at them and maybe catch up with a few trainers<\/P>
PP1 AWESOME AFFAIR millerfar2 <\/I>9\/2<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> Well bred ultra consistent stakes performer who has been placed in grade races and been quite consistent at or around this distance always run 100+sp and is able to run in the 1:34s for a mile . Two runs on track have produced a 3rd and a 5th so he would love to get is first win on the track here.<\/P> PP2 UNREASONABLE monopoly 10\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> 6 win from 27 outing trainers says he is a little disappointed buy performances in graded races to date but says luck has paid its part in a few of those and hopes for a clear run in stretch so the horse can show his best. In <\/B>V Singleton he has a jockey of experience who should deliver.<\/P> PP3 MARINESCU holyfire 8\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> Lightly race 5yrold by <\/B>SEEKING THE GOLD<\/U><\/FONT><\/A> from the grade winning $1million earner TEN BUMP most of his recent running has been in open allowance races . His trainer has been patient with him as he has mature and this is his first try at either stakes or grade racing. Jumped out of the ground for big win last time with a 107sp so if he steps up to grade racing may surprise a few here.<\/P> PP4 WONDERBOY DA VINCI(IRE) wonder4 7\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> Breed to run well on turf he has not disappointed a grade winner over this distance puts him right in the firing line in this mare was a stakes winner and this fellow has improved on that . last run was a sprint after long layoff so should be primed for big run here.<\/P> PP5 ANDY’S CHOICE gunsynd 6\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> 32nd rand turf classic runner already the winner of $800,000 in stakes from 5 wins in 18 starts. Has the services of the master of Queensland C. Wyatt and this can only add to his chances he parades well and looks fit for this . Hasn’t won for a while by with the best on top here may fix that pretty quickly look for a winning run.<\/P> PP6 OUT ON BAIL tflyer 7\/2<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> The favourite on the tote a nice brown horse by <\/B>E DUBAI<\/U><\/FONT><\/A> he has won a whopping 15 races in a 33 race career . Recent racing has been in long sprint races but he is equally adept in classic distance racing he is truly a versatile customer. His trainer said he’s ready for this and extra 1\/2f should be the key to finding the winners circle.<\/P> PP7 VERMONT VICTORY wtas02 6\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> Mighty win four starts back in Sydney over a mile Mospe Cup-G1 107sp shows he can run a merry mile mid field runner who will sit back and let the speedsters in the field work hard then try to drive past them late in the stretch . With a clear run up this long straight should just about win.<\/P> PP8 OUT OF NOWHERE jesterjist<\/I> 16\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> Trainer says he is rapt with this 4yrold <\/B>RAHY<\/U><\/FONT><\/A> since claiming him 5 starts back he has shown great training skill to tune him up to now be taking on graded company. Talking to him he says he is hoping for good run and will know more after the race about the horses future racing.<\/P> PP9 SPEIGHTFUL reman12000 16\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> beautifully bred 4yrold chestnut with an easy gate suggests he may go over even longer distances . Relaxed in the ring he is taking it all in his stride. Recent racing has been in allowances but won 4 over this distance last year <\/FONT>including the Fainting Goat Nightmares Stakes-G1 second up for year and primed for big effort here.<\/P> PP10 TO DIE FOR(IRE) zewango2 7\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> Name says it all with this breeding <\/B>THEATRICAL(IRE)<\/U><\/FONT><\/A> x<\/B> SEEKING THE GOLD<\/U><\/FONT><\/A> x SARATOGA SIX<\/U><\/FONT><\/A> we would all die to have him 5 wins to date and over $500,000 in stakes he adds to puzzle of selecting the winner . Will be one of the on pace runners and as long as they don’t run each other into the ground may be able to hold the rest at bay.<\/P> PP11 RAINBOW STAR(GB) albarrado 38\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> Hard to like this fellow in this class of race only won one <\/B>Non M\/C\/O\/S and others seem a bit classy for this 6yrold . May be better suited in lesser class races for now.<\/P> Well here\u2019s where i make a fool i myself probably one of the hardest races i have had to pick the winner of but here we go<\/P> 1ST PP7 VERMONT VICTORY wtas02 6\/1<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> \u00a0<\/P> 2ND PP5 ANDY’S CHOICE gunsynd 6\/1<\/I><\/FONT><\/P> \u00a0<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> 3RD PP1 AWESOME AFFAIR millerfar2 <\/I>9\/2<\/P><\/I><\/FONT> <\/P><\/B> \u00a0<\/P><\/B> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0<\/P><\/B> \u00a0<\/P><\/I> \u00a0<\/P> \u00a0<\/P><\/B><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" hard week for all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":203,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3774\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
