Ferro Nero had "back me next start" written all over it when terribly held up last start. There are 5 subsequent winners
from beaten runners (they've had 3 months to clock up some winners so no huge point). Ferro is gunna LOVE the unbelievable amount of room the horses get on this track ! I think the track played fair on day one of its opening. There were some very impressive winners down the outside (which was actually the middle, so much fckn room out there!) but inside runners still went okay. If ever you would be confident of a mid-back fence runner avoiding being held up, it'd be here or Flemington!
Gunna kick myself if it wins without me, BUT , the fact is there are 5 first starters (including one with Weir next to its
name) and other lightly raced horses, some with decent-moderate excuses (Sharif for Hayes a Forgive its only start). Melb is very frustrating for these maidens with all the first starters. Unlike other states, they don't make it easy to research trials/jump-outs which is a pity as it must impact turnover when cautious judges won't bet due to not having the time/resources to manually dig out each horses jump out. Am loving "Racing.com" as a tool for form,if they introduced easy to access jump-out footage/information, it'd be a 9.5/10 site (no such thing as 10/10 haha)
