With over 55 people now booked, I have decided it is a good time to start publishing the form guide! With so many friends and family from so many different parts of my life, I think it would be great for everyone to have a bit of an idea about who is coming and what they can expect! I will also note the ages of the kids so everyone can see the other kids that will be around their own kids ages. Race 1 will be tough and has some of the most seasoned campaigners drawn in the good barriers.
1. DEBORAH JAMES Expect Deb to be a strong performer who will almost certainly feature in the placings. A strong performer with years of experience there will be no taking it easy from start to finish. She will start strong and still be there at the end. Expect Deb to take off and force the others to have to sprint to catch her. Deb enjoys a drop of whatever is on offer and will even ensure anything spilt doesn't go to waste. Deb is the life of most parties. Deb is a stable mate of her husband, Scott James and will be accompanied by her twin sons, Matthew and Harrison both 10 who go to Jett's school. Definitely worth a place bet.
2. DAVE MORRIS Dave has recently returned to a stable on his own resulting in a substantial increase in training. If his nutrition is met with large amounts of quality wine you can expect him to be a contender at the far end of the race. He will be deceiving and the volume of consumption will not be obvious to spectators as he maintains a constant gallop for the full race. You can expect him to back up day after day. Not overly loud he will remember everything from the night before and will laugh at any joke you tell. Although it wont be obvious he is a work mate of Jenelle and will be looking to let his hair down and put in a strong performance. Dave will be travelling with his son Hugo, 11.
3. ROBYN SPARK Robyn will start strong and most certainly be fast out of the gate. Expect her to be leading at the half way mark but one too many Margaritas and she is likely to end up jumping the barriers or running backwards. Robyn is probably more comfortable on the back of a horse having grown up in country Victoria before arriving in the big smoke where she met Jenelle at Uni. Robyn is unlikely to be beaten on the dance floor and I would recommend purchasing tickets if she makes her moves towards any dance venue. You will not be disappointed. Now a psychologist she'll have you worked out before you sort her. Robyn is a stable mate of her husband Dave Spark and they will be travelling with their daughter Chloe 6.
4. LARRY MEHEGAN Laz is the oldest in the field but don't let that fool you. Unless the race is particularly fast, Laz will be there right up to the end. With years of training he has both the experience and the ks to get him over the line. If the race is about smarts he will likely take it out. He can be usually be found within diving distance of a pool or bar. Although now retired he can still put in a good performance at any bar. For any early risers you are likely to find your drinker partner in Laz who will be beside the pool from 6am onwards. Jenelle's dad, Laz will be sharing a stable overlooking the water with his wife, Carol Mehegan.
5. EMMA JONES Emma is a proven performer on group overseas birthdays and likely to do well in Vanuatu. Don't be deceived by her size. This pocket rocket can put them away. Always got a smile on her face you wont find Emma sitting in the corner. Emma will start strong but soon be distracted if you hand her a microphone or push her towards a dance floor. No not a singer, the microphone is for talking!!! Emma is likely to stay strong for the entire race but will back it up early the next day so you'll have to be ready to go. She is unlikely to give away when she is starting to do it tough. A hairdresser by occupation, Emma shares a stable with her husband Bryn and three kids, Kynan 10, Shayla 8 and Camdyn 6. Kynan plays football with Jett.
6. ZINNIA HARDIMAN Zinnia's outlook is clear. Go hard or go home. There is nothing in between. If she turns up she will win the race. Put your money on for a win. Vodka is the favorite but she could be swayed by other choices further into the race. She hasn't performed in many of the Hartman events but by all accounts from those at her local Geelong track she must a considered a favorite. Her foundations from across the ditch still remain strong and she wont be fooled by her opponents. She will play fair but hard. Zinnia is a childcare worker who never gets to switch off given her husband and stable mate Mick Hardiman requires constant supervision. Mick works with Jenelle. If Mick is behaving then Zinnia is almost certain to take out the event. She will also be travelling with her two kids, Sahra 12 and Ky 10.
Dave is a lightweight! Zinnia Hardiman to smash race 1!!
