The Spring Is Finally Here

When we see the running of the J J Liston Stakes, it is all systems go for punters to take the on ramp toward the upcoming Spring Carnival of racing.

How good is Light Fantastic? The son of Danehill Dancer extended his unbeaten run to 5 on Saturday with his win the Liston and despite the prescence of Weekend Hustler, Light Fantastic showed he is a realistic contender for all the major WFA spring races. His main aim is the Cox Plate, the only concern with him being competitive in the race is lack of Moonee Valley experience. However, the Hustler is in the same boat there. The Feehan Stakes at the Valley in September may be an ideal race for both to become more acquainted with the tight turning hallowed turf where Australia's top WFA race is held each and every year.

One of the better runs at Caulfield on Saturday came from promising middle distance performer Light Vision. He won comfortably over 1600m, a distance well short of his best, however defeated plenty of Spring hopefuls, so should not be taken lightly through the coming months. He will be well trained and placed by Robert Smerdon, Light Vision is definitely one to follow.

Our major selection on Saturday came up at Belmont in the shape of Key Biscuit. He was desparately unlucky and should have won. He was in front a stride before the line, and in front a stride after the line, however Classic Lad got his nose down at the precise moment to nail the finish. This was after coming from a long way back, circling the field and running home strongly, so Key Biscuit will pay to follow, he will redeem himself next time out. Elliotto was also mentioned in our Saturday emails and for the second successive week saluted for our members at good odds of $2.80.

So with the Spring now upon us, heaps of winners will flowing as we approach the most profitable time of the year.

Good luck and profitable punting to all.

Nevertheless, the pressure is on once again to maintain profit levels for our members in 2008/2009. We began extremely well yesterday, when the top selection Burdekin Blues saluted easily at Eagle Farm, while the other tip Elliotto at Belmont was also victorious.
