Well less rain ar Randwick I think than expected but still a heavy 9. Houtzen is scratched so I guess she’ll head to the Black Opal. It would make sense, you don’t need to miss races heading into the Golden Slipper. Madeenaty whihc ran 3rd in the Millions to Houtzen runs at Flemington over 1000 and you would expect her to win that easily. I lked the way she kept giving at the Gold Coast. Menari will be the main challenger to Houtzen in the Black Opal and it looks like a very good meeting doenm there. Our Gold Club Members have a runner on the day and we have high expectations, although competition will be fierce. At least the track will be good and the weather perfect. It’s Port Lincoln Cup day today and Ustionovs Fury @ $3.50 looks very hard to beat. He will lead thema merry dance as he gets conditions to suit.
