Ambiguity justifies support on debut
Doc Sportello a tonic for punters at Tipp
He had a nice run first time out and we were hopeful, rather than confident, coming here. We'll look for a handicap next and it's nice to get those colours back as they've been lucky for us over the years and it's nice to win another race for Mr Ryan (Shane, owner of Kilboy Estate).
Bluesbreaker another winner for English
St George's brother Kellstorm blows in
He's a staying horse and you'd have to be happy with that. His brother stayed well and he (Kellstorm) is a lovely genuine horse. He's possibly a horse for the Queen's Vase and will have one run in between then.
Money talks for Lady Giselle in Tipp feature
A bit of nice ground is what she wants and she couldn't handle the ground at Limerick (previously). Her light weight helped and she was overdue that. She comes to herself at this time of year and will go for another handicap as long as the ground doesn't dry up.
Lake Takapuna appreciates better ground
He has been running well and I'd been looking for a bit of better ground, even better than today's. He doesn't want deep winter ground and he'll go chasing sooner rather than later. He's a real chaser, is a tough individual, and I'll keep him going during the summer.
M M D has the opposition well sized up
He won well there and Jamie was happy all through the race. He missed the last but was still able to win. It was a pleasant surprise but we've still a bit to work out about him. He may have one more run before his summer break.
