A nose second with the straight out bet and a fourth with the each way summed up our day last week in Adelaide.
But let’s push on and try to get something on Victoria Derby day ready for Cup week.
If she runs to the market expectations last start then Son Senoras has to be the one in Race 5.
She was heavily backed at Moonee Valley, led and weakened out over the 1000m. The previous win was dominant.
Coming back to this grade of race, she should be able to hold a forward position again but not be under the same amount of pressure.
In the next four year old Tildy Lad has been charging through his grades and looks value. He is the winner of his last four starts, with weight increases for good measure.
He now drops back to the minimum and has trialled since his last win to prepare for this.
From this draw he should be right on the back of the speed and prove mighty hard to beat.
Like two weeks ago, we might just take the double at about 6-1.
