What a weekend we have coming up! Besides the AFL and NRL Grand Finals, we have 4 days of racing. I'll be having a look at Moonee Valley Friday night, Eagle Farm, Rosehill and Mornington Saturday. At this stage I'll be giving Sunday's and Monday's racing a miss.
Last Saturday wasn't the most memorable day for The Silk. Lankan Rupee, Veewap, Someday, Gypsy Pearl, Jacquinot Bay and Lamasery were the winners found. The Brisbane quadrella was also a collect if you used the top 4 picks from each leg.
Before I get into it I must make mention of friend to The Silk and top bloke, Wayne McGrath. Some of you may know Wayne from twitter. Wayne is taking part in Monday's walk to raise money for the Sydney Children's Hospital Network and I strongly encourage you if you can to donate to the cause at http://4tracks4kidssydney.gofundraise.com.au/page/doingitforthekids

Eagle Farm 29/09/12
Race 1 - Transporter (3) can kick things off on a winning note. This horse has been racing in excellent style lately. He has won his last 3 starts. In all 3 races he's been guided by Michael Cahill who has obviously bonded with this horse. He is 2 from 2 over this distance and races particularly well at the track. Steps out of midweek company but gets weight relief. Other hopes to Danagaze (1), Playaction (2) and Satch (5).
Race 2 - Antarctic Dream (2) was narrowly defeated last start by Trakstar over this distance. Platinum State was also in that race and I think these 2 will quinella the race. For mine, Antarctic Dream looked stronger at the finish and that's why I'll be supporting her. Beyond these 2, there's very little in this race.
Race 3 - Theft (1) has to lump 59kg here but gets the services of Chris Munce and has carried reasonably high weights in the past. This horse has raced against better quality horses and deserves the weight based on that. Munce has a terrific record on this guy, winning 5 from 8. His 1st up record is a good one and won a trial earlier this month so I suggest he'll be ready to fire 1st up. He will race handy and his 1200m form will see him strong to the line in this 1000m dash. Other hopes to Found The One (4), Greyzeel (5) and Jugahlation (2).
Race 4 - Solebid (4) looks nicely placed to go back to back here. He has been racing in great touch since resuming. He rises just 0.5 kg on his last start win which was over 1350m. I had my doubts that he could run that race out but he proved me wrong so the 1400m should pose no worries. Although he has drawn out, I can't see him having too many dramas coming across and taking up a handy position. Other hopes to Jet Style (8), Mr Orient (2) and Jack's Back (7).
Race 5 - Lucky Luna (3) comes into this race following 2 very good wins. In his last race he defeated a couple of his main rivals here with relative ease. He has failed to record a win at this track in 17 starts. However I'm not getting carried away with that stat as he has placed in both his 2 races at the track and distance. Rosie Myer who claims 2kg here should be able to position the horse very nicely from the good gate. Other hopes to Hidden Kisses (6), Poor Judge (4) and Bold Glance (1).
***With the scratching of Hidden Kisses, I'll promote War Ends (8) to the other hopes***
Race 6 - There's a handful of horses engaged here that like to go forward which will ensure a good pace. That will suit Flying Jet (3). This mare was excellent last start, winning by 2.3 lengths over 1350m. The 1400m here suits. Two starts back she beat the in form Solebid. She rises 3kg but she really looks a talent and has the silky skills of Larry Cassidy to counter the increased weight. She's cherry ripe to collect here. Other hopes to Cuddlesome (7), Comahni (4) and Crazy Mamma (5).
***With the scratching of Crazy Mamma, I'll promote Just Destiny (6) to the other hopes***
Race 7 - Morning Captain (9) resumes here and looks an excellent chance. I can see him getting a glorious run slotting in just behind the leading pair. His 1st up record reads 3 starts for a win and 2 seconds. Gets in with 54kg which is a weight he hasn't carried for a while. Other hopes to Motspur (3), Too Many Reds (5) and The Sixties (2).
Race 8 - Run Royal Run (3) can get the money in the last. This lightly raced horse has put together a nice record so far. He's only been out of the placings once in 7 starts. His form this time in is excellent. He ran 3rd to Silver Command 1st up and then beat Bribie last start. Last campaign he won 3rd up. He has shown a willingness to run on in past starts so the 1600m shouldn't pose any problems. Chris Munce has ridden him every time and drops 1.5kg from last start. Other hopes to Caellum (5), Princely (7) and Dorchester (9).
