*** Favourite is breaking widest , top weight and is coming off 3 negative #\'s in a row . 2nd choice is coming off 2 negative #\'s and no wins at the distance . Time to swing for the fences .
    3 price horses catch my eye.
Slider - Hard kocking gelding has found new life at 5 . Loves track.
Crafty Shaw - almost upset the applecart in the Clark last year at 42-1 . Working well.
Woodmoon - another hard knocking 5yo gelding has run well this year . Latest was off effort .

At the weights if anyone of these can run close to their tops - they can get a big piece .

I will bet any and all over 15-1 , box them in the exactors - and save with Mineshaft.bj

Can\'t knock the idea. But what\'s wrong with Consistency, a 4yo, that\'s never bounced or Proud Citizen, another 4yo, that\'s look to be coming up to a big race?

*** I agree that Consistency was certainly running to his \"name\" and had a beautiful line - I just thought on the short term he had reached the end of the line .
I didn\'t think Proud Citizen would be much of a price , and was a little iffy to go foward after the long layoff and his last effort.

Bottom line - The chalk got beat and so did I. bj
