This is from Betfair's harness racing expert, The Trotman
The Group One feature looks to be a battle of the two heavyweights, Smoken Up and Im Themightyquinn who have drawn one and three respectively.

Ok.... I am sticking to Amy going mad early and looking for an upset.
Bitobliss and Franco Jamar are the ones to be closing late for the boilover and hopefully a nice quaddie collect.

One wonders how Down Under Muscles could be sent out favourite???? He hasn't won a race on a Metropolitan track in over a year, has never won a Grand Circuit race or even a group 1 race. He duly ran last.

Im with you there Kingston Town. Its like the 2 old dudes that sit in the balcony in the muppets. And Hutchy is a genius for getting the quad for 10% for a $56 outlay...WTF?? All these 2 muppets do is pick every fav in each race, Stop talking all the sheet and just show the race

"Smoken Up Unaided, just not as strong at the finish in Grand Circuit races. Those that took the short odds on him would do well to take a closer look at his overally winning percentage when contesting Grand Circuit races next time"
"Smoken Up minus the good oil still only has the South Australian Cup and a Miracle Mile to hang his hat on at Grand Circuit level."
"Mr Feelgood cracked the 3 million last night, has been a phenomenal success in Australia, but honestly I doubt either of these 2 will be a significant factor this season with the new young guns about."
And you think i am a poor judge....
The horse that you have potted the absolute shit out of has only won across the Tasman, Then won a little race called Miracle Mile and now a Victoria Cup since...
Geeez you go alright at the game don't you....Anychance you coming to the sales with me and telling me the ones that u don't like??

Was funny at Menangle, rather than take drivers taking their runners for a good blow out before the race, they were all hanging around watching the Vic Cup on the big screen

I wish they would shut Adam and Hutchy up  have you ever seen 2 blokes talk more crap than those 2  Yep- Guerin has them easily covered. He's the Ian Healy of trots commentators- large volumes of verbal diarrorhea constantly flow, but he seems amazed at his self-assessed ability to deliver pearls. Didnt manage to snag even one from the program on viccup.com.au despite having at least 2 tips each time. Enjoy Hutchy's insight, and Hamilton in smaller doses too.

I really enjoy hutchy and adam hamilton's banter. And I think they are a lot easier to listen to when doing their form than any of the gallops guys.
What did people think of Restrepo's run? Heard on the grapevine it was a virus or something that kept him out so long. Not sure how long he's been in work but damn good run 2nd up I thought. Great win by Charlie Machsheen I'm amazed at the prices I always seem to get for this guy, backed him a few times now when he's got up at $7-$10 range.

May have to reevaluate the standing of Smokey after that run. Smashed the track record, did he not?
