!.Polar Bear 2. Niconero 3. Confectioner for me.

[umrum]

Idyllic prince, polar bear, wild target and kim invader for mine

[crash]

I like that Idyllic prince too umrum, but couldn't go the barrier [Confectioner has the same problem]. As a backmarker 13 would have been a better draw perhaps [?]

[umrum]

Yeah not ideal crash but if there are no scrathings he should be able to drift back to midfield and be 2 -3 off the fence which is where i hope he is in the run.

[crash]

Down 3 1/2kg. I think Polar Bear is going to be very hard to beat. OK barrier too for a Mid-pacer. Can avoid the rough and tumble from 17 and settle where he likes more or less out from the fence [not good for Ascot I hear with this many runners]. He'll be my only bet.

Vain Crusader with Harvey on and the big weight drop might be a surprise package and worth putting in any exotics. Got to respect Harvey.

[umrum]

i like polar bear too but beware there have been reports that he has not tarvelled that well. i will probably be backing PB adn IP and saving on KI and Wt and working my multiples around those 4. Scenic shot the lay.

[crash]

I'm going to look into that. Travel can cook the Goose [Perth is another country!]
