The PPD Club's 'king of the longshots' Brian Blackwell was right on target again on Monday (Mar 24) landing SPEED OF DARK 1st $14.80 at Grafton. Here's what he told PPD Club members about his sole longshot bet for the day:
Luckless at Coffs Harbour last start, (9) Speed of Dark 8/1 appeals as an eachway special for race 5, an Open hdcp 1400m at Grafton on Monday.
Handy throughout, the 6YO mare got caught up in traffic early in the straight and was unable to be tested until inside the 200m in an Open hdcp 1200m at Coffs on Mar 11. She did well to finish a half length 2nd/11 behind Kinetics, conceding that horse 1.5kgs. Two runs back, Speed of Dark ran 3rd/11 Lismore 1200m in BM60 on Mar 3 when first-up for almost 2 months. She gets her chance today over the longer trip.
