Poor run over last few days that we'll hopefully turn around with good quality races over the weekend.
Yesterday was another head scratcher for Light From Mars. He's now a very definite far cry from the horse last season, who won the Spring Cup off a mark of 97. 8lb lower in the ratings yesterday, and he struggled badly. Back to the drawing board with him.
