Oh yes I am a shrewd thing!

What a fantastic run we witnessed last night from the sirlad trained 'shrewd thing'! At massive odds of 18/1 the 2 year old colt finished in second as predicted in Australia despite being written off by the bookies. And it could have been so much better. The youngster finished less than a full length behind Javier Javier. Still a great result Im sure you'd agree!

Royal Rose - 8:48 - 24/1

Well you cant argue with a 100% record! This 2 year old fillie from the Topcert stable has only been out once (on tuesday in Hong Kong) where she won in a full field in a Maiden juvenille race for grade 2 horses. Undoubtedly its a step up in quality tonight but still this inexperienced field isn't great.The Topcert stable have only been with Getminted for two months but already they've earned almost £900. If their new girl can get a good jockey tonight then they could add to that amount. Each way contender.

Woozie - 9:24 - 17/2

What a great name. My sources tell me though that this 2 year old fillie is neither pint size nore welsh! In her seven races to date this Ken Allan trained grey has won once and been placed in 3. Its a measure of the respect Ken Allan has for this fillie that he paid previous owner Decibel £338 for her on the 8th of October. Obviously Ken believes this horse can deliver and who am I to argue with the master. I think a win may be beyond her tonight but feel a place in well within her abilities.

beegee - 9:48 - 11/1

I have to admit I'm less confident about this selection than the other two but in the world of virtual horse racing you never know!!! Beegee has been out 7 times so far in his career winning in 3 and being placed in 3 but he faces an uphill battle in Hong Kong in the last race of the evening. He comes into this race on the back of a win at this very track five days ago and after a good rest he's confident of success. In this small field winner takes all so he'll have to stay with the pacemakers from the very off.
