How did last weekend go for you – did you win or lose?  

Johnny: I didn't win last week. Friday was challenging and a blow that I failed to recover from over the next couple of days. The weekend itself wasn’t bad, with a winning day on Saturday, helped by a large lay of Calandagan in the Coronation Cup, followed by just one play on Sunday, which was a losing one on Trigg at Perth, who was extremely disappointing. I’m in a tricky period where my punting confidence isn’t high and damage limitation is at the forefront of my mind. There are times in the year when the make-up of the cards isn’t particularly suited to my style of punting, and this happens to be one of them. I’m very much playing with a 'buyer beware' strategy right now. 

DJ: I lost, too. My two main fancies were Legacy Link in the Oaks, which was looking beautiful until that spoilsport Dylan Browne McMonagle appeared sitting motionless on Thundering On, and Lexington Blitz in the Dash. He's lightning and, while he didn't win, he's going to win lots of sprints this season. 

Who wins the BetMGM Scurry Stakes at Sandown?

DJ: Words Of Truth has to give his Billy Loughnane-ridden stablemate Military Code 5lb. Military Code has some quality sprinting form and gets my tentative vote at around 11-4.
