BEATING THE ODDS
Sydney Morning Herald
Saturday February 26, 2011
LATE BLOOMER: Lone Command can continue his winning run in today's Tony And Manera Lahood Handicap at Rosehill. The six-year-old has put together a consistent record, and the two kilogram claim for crack apprentice Josh Adams is yet another positive, for Lone Command will carry only 53kg.FAIR ODDS: Jersey Lily worked home steadily without threatening first-up behind More Joyous. Trainer Les Bridge gave the lightly raced mare another trial at Randwick on Monday in preparation for today's Millie Fox Stakes at Rosehill. Double-figure odds in an open race are enticing.CUP FACTOR: Melbourne Cup winner Shocking is the value runner in today's St George Stakes at Caulfield. The entire recorded good sectionals when 11th in the Orr Stakes. He has won twice from four second-up outings, and about $8 is on offer.ON THIS DAY: Star Witness, left, produced a stunning burst from the tail to win the Blue Diamond Stakes a year ago. The colt returns to the track for today's Oakleigh Plate, and you can bank on the three-year-old steaming home late.
