[catweazle]

Won't be surprised if Bart Cummings adds another one to his mantel this year...

[eddie72]

Pop Rock for the Melbourne Cup.

[YoungBuck]

Hoping for POP ROCK, or DELTA BLUES. Took advantage of that TAB promotion, and had $50 on Pop @ 26.00, and the same on Delta @ 61.00.
Pretty generous odds I thought....

[westi]

Now 258 noms. Late entry fees paid for Respect & The Bavarian.

[suds]

Hoping for POP ROCK, or DELTA BLUES. Took advantage of that TAB promotion, and had $50 on Pop @ 26.00, and the same on Delta @ 61.00.
Pretty generous odds I thought....

Yep, same here ;)

[Even Stevens]

wont be risking my hard earnt this early on

[YoungBuck]

Sometimes you gotta get in early to get the juicy odds. Calculated risk.

[Even Stevens]

still sounds like a stab in the dark to me!

[YoungBuck]

Not really, as those two fought it out lengths ahead of the rest last year. I know they are good, all they need to do now is get over here and do it again!!!

[Raw Instinct]

No idea for the 1st time in awhile i have nothing I am looking at but I will say that I don't mind Sir James for Cummings as a chance and also thought if you wanted to have a stab at the Jap horses then have a tickle at Tosho Knight has some good Japanese form from what i am led to believe and should be well off at the weights compared to the other 2.

[chubby]

Tosho Knight ran 5th in the Group 1 Tenno Sho Spring (3200m) the same race Makybe Diva finished 7th in 2005. Guess that's a plus for Tosho Knight.

[eddie72]

Sometimes you gotta get in early to get the juicy odds. Calculated risk.

...can't see Maybe Better drifting so I've put mine on already!

[Raw Instinct]

I should have had Maybe Better in there just forgot to type his name in he is the obvious chance i feel of the local horses just needs to learn to settle with someone other than Arnold on his back not sure what weights they are going to get but I doubt Steven will be able to ride him in this.

[sportsmad]

...can't see Maybe Better drifting so I've put mine on already!

Delta Blues & Pop Rock may not make it to our shores for the cups. An outbreak of equine influenza in Japan at the moment might mean they will not be allowed into Australia!

Race meetings in Japan last weekend were cancelled due to the equine influenza outbreak and the Japan Racing Authority has suspended racing indefinitely!

[Horse Whisperer]

just wondering if anyone knows what is happening with leica falcon?? have they said he can travel to victoria yet or is he certain to stay in nsw with the whole flu thing??

[Chuck]

mate hes had 2 starts in vic already this prep

[Horse Whisperer]

i thought he had only had one?
and the last i heard freyer was trying to get clearance to take the horse from his stables on the wrong side of the voctorian border into victoria to race on memsie stakes day which mustn't have happened because he was scratched.

Reported that the Aiden O’Brien trained Yeats and Scorpion are both in doubt of making the trip to Australia for the Cup. In the case of Yeats they're are claiming too much weight & concerns at the equine influenza crisis.

In my view better off staying at home cause Yeats was far from impressive in winning the ********** St Leger on the weekend. All over the place last 300m & it was only Kieren Fallon's vigour that got Yeats home narrowly over stablemate Scorpion!

[Real Deal]

After Saturdays race.....how far Efficient? $7 (on TAB-better elsewhere) is very juicy on a horse that looks like only injury could rule him out.

[maverick1993]

Maybe Better seems to ticking along nicely,,,looks as thought they have only the one thing in mind for this horse,,
Zipping was a huge run in last years MC ,,ridden basically upside down...i was impressed the way it fought on..
Efficient ..flying along,,if ridden right on Mc day he'll be hard to beat..

these my top 3..

best outsider is Ice Chariot,,,loved his last win and distance isnt a prob..heard hes flying in track work and really thriving down there.

[Matilda]

I like 2 of your selection. Efficient and Ice Chariot.

[goldeee]

Efficient
Eskimo Queen
Gallic

After Saturdays race.....how far Efficient? $7 (on TAB-better elsewhere) is very juicy on a horse that looks like only injury could rule him out.

huge jump in distance :D

[Real Deal]

yeah massive jump in distance agreed but when activation and cinque cento turned it into a staying test, all the horses had to get going at the 800 or earlier and there were none coming home harder the efficient.

[Radar67]

just wondering if anyone knows what is happening with leica falcon?? have they said he can travel to victoria yet or is he certain to stay in nsw with the whole flu thing??


Must be SO frustrating for connections being SO close to the border & now a further EI outbreak at Warwick Farm!!!

Unload Boys!

[westman]

Scorpion and Mahler coming Yeats staying home

And Purple Moon and Tungsten Strike are currently in quarantine for the trip to oz as well!

[Raw Instinct]

Efficient and Maybe Better are both ticking over beautifully for this race and Maybe Better gets a nice weight concession off of Efficient aswell, hard to get to hyped on much else right now however Master O'rielly and Eskimo Queen look the goods aswell I also liked the run of Princess Coup over in NZ on the weekend haven't checked out her breading but she did hit the line hard and is supposed to be here for the Caulfield Cup which should be a lead up to coming to this race.

[Real Deal]

Will a win in the Turnbull give Efficient a weight penalty?

[Raw Instinct]

Not sure mate to be honest

[Matilda]

Douro Valley good long shot.

[Chenille Prince]

can't see any 2400 / 2400+ form matilda..,,bred to stay?

[go4it]

Don't know it's breeding,but it ran a near track record over 2000 at Caulfield the start before,and it was very strong at the line in the Turnbull,suggesting it should at the very least get a strong 2400.
Only time will tell.
Whether it's up to CC class remains to be seen,but if the speed is on you could do a lot worse than backing this bloke e/w.
The tempo in the Turnbull was farcical,yet he still finished it off,which makes me think with the pace on(usually is in a CC)will suit him even better if ridden quitely.

[maverick1993]

Maybe better looked good yesterday,,relaxed nicely,,
I'm happy with my 13's for Master Orielly ,,he looks on track,,
Black tom my roughie at 61's ,,,miracles can happen...

[Northern]

Ive Narrowed the Melbourne cup down to the following outsiders as this year i think we will all agree nothing stands out!

In no order:

Douro Valley
Eskimo Queen
Princess Coup
Scorpion
On a Juene

What do others think?

[Chuck]

i think efficient stands out :)

of the outsiders, i think Cinque Cento, Pacino, Scorpion are chances but i cant go past the top 3 of efficient, master o'reilly and maybe better

[rabbitz]

whats the go with scorpion..i know greg childs-rodd jnr likes it but havent seen much press about it
It will be a bit farcical if they run with the usual 24
I reckon they should grab a couple of oldies from the Melbourne cup parade to add a bit of depth..although i reckon Arwon and What a nuisance might just miss the place ..but I'd definitely have Saintly,Ethereal,Media Puzzle and Might n Power in my top ten :D

[Happychap]

...can't see Maybe Better drifting so I've put mine on already!

Got on early as well eddie72...very happy Happychap :D

[westman]

The final door has been closed on Melbourne Cup hopeful Leica Falcon.

Victoria's Department Of Primary Industries' chief veterinary officer, Dr Hugh Millar has just confirmed that the ban on Queensland and NSW horses entering the State would not be relaxed.

[sportzfan]

Yeah, NSW sprinters Takeover Target and Natural Destiny in the same boat!

[westman]

They’ve all been immunised haven’t they?

[sportzfan]

Read somewhere that an overseas campaign was being considered?

[ijuandaQLD]

Maybe Better
Efficient
Zipping
Mandela

in no order but i think will all give it a shake

[Real Deal]

****NEWSFLASH*****

The Real Deal Times has declared Miss Finland over the line. Her trainer has stated publicy that injury will be the only reason she won't run in the cup and with 53kg on her back there is no horse this side of mars that will beat her over 3200m on the first tuesday in November.

[westman]

Read somewhere that an overseas campaign was being considered?

Yep, Leica Falcon could be Hong Kong bound

[maverick1993]

Maybe Better and Master Orilley the two Aussie horses that look best to me at the moment.

On A Jeune 61's woudl be nice,,hoping for a dominant Geelong Cup win..

[Chenille Prince]

They’ve all been immunised haven’t they?

yep

[StaggerLee]

will need a head-start if she's gonna win :)

[diogenes]

Craig Williams hints "She could be the next Makybe Diva"
We will see.

[Horse Whisperer]

lol Leica Falcon could yet run in the big one. Now NSW minister for primary industries has got behind the connections and is trying to get it across the river in time for the race. If this horse runs, and wins, it will be one of the greatest stories of all time.

[POSEIDON]

Read that Purple Moon, Tungsten Strike, Scorpion and Mahler will all be put through their paces at Sandown tomorrow. Any feedback on how they look / work would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Raw Instinct]

I have heard there has been alot of money on Mahler for the cup shortened from $41 to $11 but I would question if that money is for real most of the true english form students rate it quite considerably lower than Scorpion and Purple Moon and they have Scorpion a mile in front of Purple Moon make of that what you will. They ofcourse do have to acclimatise

[POSEIDON]

Just read that Damien Oliver is the new rider for Purple Moon in the Melbourne Cup! Got to be a plus!!

[Matilda]

Anyone has the order of entry?. I like Princess Coup.....with Zipping and Duoro Valley.

[crash]

Whatever you back don't leave out Master O'reilly. His last start win 600m sectional was slashing and his breeding has 'stayer' written all over it. He passed Duoro Valley as if he was standing still !

[diogenes]

Mahler in from 41 to 11 but I wouldn't be on at 41.
It just cannot beat Scorpion or Purple Moon and Antipodeans have some seriously good contenders.IMO
Agree Crash, Master O'Reilly has the goods and is the one to beat.
Just in, 60K has come for Miss Finny in the MC.

[Chuck]

Mahler no chance

Purple Moon and Efficient for me at the moment, just over Scorpion

[Chuck]

Anyone has the order of entry?. I like Princess Coup.....with Zipping and Duoro Valley.

I'm sure Aidan O'Brien was the same bloke that brought out Vintage Crop and that other horse [can't remember it's name]. Vintage crop was the underdog of the two [ho ho].

The same plan this time? Maher is here to help set up the race for Scorpion I think and is the one to watch as the smokey but we don't know how well he will settle in.

Duro Valley had every chance to win last start and couldn't. Blue Monday got held up a bit in the straight but wouldn't have had a hope of catching Master O'rielly who ran the Caulfield Cup very close to the race record. The Fuzz ran a great race yesterday.

I think the uneven conditions of the new Flemington track will have a big say in the MC outcome, but I wouldn't want to be on anything running next to the fence!

[sportzfan]

I'm sure Aidan O'Brien was the same bloke that brought out Vintage Crop and that other horse [can't remember it's name]. Vintage crop was the underdog of the two [ho ho].


I think Dermot Weld trained Vintage Crop, & also trained Media Puzzle, didn't he?

[crash]

You might be right there. The old memory isn't what it used to be :-)

[Matilda]

Thanks chuck. Is the acceptance after CC?. If no, can I say that Duoro Valley is higher than 27 as of now? Do advise if you know. Thanks.

[Kanga]

I think Dermot Weld trained Vintage Crop, & also trained Media Puzzle, didn't he?
Correct. Aiden O'Brien trained Yeats.

[crash]

Yeats and Scorpion - courtesy of the RacingPost

Sunday was a day for horses with courage. At Doncaster Mahler fought hard to hold his place at the head of affairs in the St Leger, sticking his neck out as far as he could, and had he not stumbled he may have won. Stablemate Honolulu was flying at the finish but neither of them could repel John Gosden’s giant of a horse, Lucarno. Lucarno gave Gosden his first St Leger, and rider Jimmy Fortune his first classic.

Meanwhile in Ireland Yeats secured his and his trainers first ********** St Leger but stablemate Scorpion did not go down without a brave fight. Yeats showed just how classy he is, and how determined he and his jockey are.

You had to feel sorry for Scorpion who gave his all. But the St. Leger win came after Yeats was beaten in his two previous attempts and perhaps the 5 year old Scorpion will be back next year to win his.

Kieren Fallon held Yeats in mid-division as Scorpion, under Seamus Heffernan, held a comfortable lead throughout much of the race. Two furlongs out, Scorpion seemed to find another gear and spurted three lengths clear of the field.

Fallon had Yeats under a stiff drive and at first didn’t appear to make any headway on the leader. Fallon kept after his charge, and Yeats dug in and gradually wore down Scorpion to win by a half-length.

[Kanga]

Anyone know how Scorpion (and Mahler) are going? I heard they lost a fair bit of weight on the way over but judging by the betting I assume they're working ok..

[Northern]

Mahler lost 6 kg and Scorpion lost 5 kg after the flight over which is normal they both ate on the way over and have fed since then. They worked at Sandown just a light cantor nothing serious as yet. Ive backed Scorpion a while ago and i think it will be in with a good chance although Mahler has been backed in quite abit. I still like the 61-1 i got about On a Jeune!

[Kanga]

Thanks for that Northern. Re OAJ, I'm with you, I got on @ 100/1 before the EI reframed the market.

I don't think it's going well enough at the moment, I hope I'm wrong though, I like the horse, although it did cost me a few bob for very little outlay when it ran 2nd to the mare a couple of years back when I had a Derby/Cup double of Benicio/OAJ before the Geelong Cup at 5000/1.

I hope you're on a winner, although a mate of mine told me on the weekend that it had buckleys because no horse starting with O has ever won the cup. I hope it draws barrier 18 and ********s it in lol. GL.

[maverick1993]

Happy to be on Master Orielly 13's now into 5's
On A Juene 61's now into 17's
Black Tom 51's now out to 81's..
i'm having a spec bet on red Lord at the 151's ,,incase he wins very well tomorrow,,

I really think the Master looks way to good.....heard something about On a Jeune that he has bad legs ??? maybe thats why the diffferent prep this year...

[Matilda]

My current MC selection :

1) Zipping
2) Princess Coup
3) Duoro Valley
4) Master Oreilly.

[partypooper]

We all like to say "we backed the winner" but really from a betting point of view, surely forget everything else just back the first 2 or 3 in the market year in year out and you'd be in front wouldn't you?

Personally, I'll be having my usual Tri 2x3x7 ($10 @ 50c units) I snagged one a few years back for $500, so I figure I can have the same bet for 50 years with "THEIR" money!

[crash]

L.O.L ;-)

Just don't leave out Master O'reilly in the first 2 for the win. The big problem is working out the other horse to put in the first 2 [?]

[crash]

Hayes is having words with owners, so it looks like Miss Finland might be out of the Cup.
I remember reading an article about a week ago and Hayes saying MF would have to at least place to go into the Cup. She had no excuses this year. I can't believe punters keep backing her at ridiculous odds when she keeps getting beaten. 'Champion'?

looks like a WEAK cup this year
will they even have 24?

[crash]

A weak cup and a bad betting week.

They should have moved the flemington carnival to Sandown this year to give all the horses a fair chance on a stable track surface.

Flemington will be a shifting track, very biased and over-watered. Anyhow, it should be a good track by next spring after the surface settles down. Something to look forward too.

[Horse Whisperer]

My top four
Master Oreilly
Purple Moon
Blue Monday
Maybe Better

Best Roughie
Scenic Shot currently @ $81

Its going to be a hard race to pick this yr (nothing new) hard to leave out horses like Gallic, even Efficient and Zipping who will be much better suited to the trip.

[diogenes]

Scorpion is out. It is official.
Crash is right on the money about the track.

[Horse Whisperer]

I dont understand how you can say there was a bias, sure the inside was a no go zone last time, but horses won from everywhere. Horses that have won or raced well at flemington did so and horses that generally dont perform did the same. Is it the fact that we have got so used to Caulfield and Mooney Valley racing that we have forgotten what its like on a big track with a nice long straight, that the same horses winning at Caulfield at Mooney valley arn't necessarily going to be suited by the different track and therefore we need to adjust to something we havnt had for almost a year? Its not like the form hasnt stacked up, The Fuzz ran 2nd, Vormista clearly an in form horse won like it should have, Serious Speed massive run for 2nd has since franked its form, the Turnbull had some great runs in it and for those that didnt run well the trainers all blamed the track, yet the only horse that improved off its turnbull run won its next race, and its still a maiden at flemington. [END RANT]

[jfc]

Currently some very interesting examples of market efficiency in the MC futures market with the aptly named Efficient.

He was unloved in the market 24 hours ago, until I heard a 2KY piece about his trackwork.

Nothing much changed for 20 hours until this piece ended up in the next morning newspapers.

To me, schooling disinterested horses over jumps doesn't appear that newsworthy or significant but its newspaper reporting has been enough to arrest Efficient's slump from $25 into $14 on Betfair.

My bet is this is a great lay for the moment.

[crash]

lol. lol.
I'll stick to the horse's known form ...lousy [40/1].

Trainers hype up their horse's chances to keep in good with the owners [to keep training them]. Jockies do it to to keep sweet with the Trainers.

[bagwon]

Eskimo Queen ew @ 20/1 deserves a change of luck
Master O'Reilly could easily add his name to the CC / MC winners list
Overseas invaders Mahler & Tungsten Strike a chance if any ability, against one of the weakest MC fields in ages

[ijuandaQLD]

gone are the days of great horses racing in the melbourne cup. seems the last 10 years every year we discuss the lack of quality entered in the race

[crash]

Mahler is really only a 3yr. old and was only here to sacrifice itself to set up a decent pace for Scorpion and is a very uptight horse, especially now her stablemate is stuffed.
Eskimo Queen didn't fire a shot in the Cox, despite being unnecessarily flogged to death by Newitt. Horses usually produce a very ordinary run after that sort of treatment.

Master O'riely still looks the goods I think. Gallic ran a fast race last week in the M.V Cup for a nice win and Scenic Shot did a big turn-around in form in the Jayco Mile after being ridden back, so I'm not sure what to make of that[?]

[Kanga]

Well we're off to Melbourne tomorrow morning for the annual horsefest, good luck to you blokes for the rest of the carnival, I hope you all back a winner. E.I? Weak field? Rain? Track bias? I could care less, it's gonna be a ************ great week as always.

Derby - I'm sticking with Villain although Down Under Boy is my best return.

Cup - Master O'Reilly the obvious choice but I like a bit of value so I'll continue to take Princess Coup and Blue Monday and have a lash while they are over 20/1. Scenic Shot is best of the roughies for me at this stage. Best return for me overall though funnily enough due to earlier CC/MC and GC/MC doubles is Tawqueet.

Oaks - I don't really care too much for Oaks Day, I'm usually running on empty after too many nights on the turps and I'm ready to head home, and the Mrs is with me so I'm unlikely to join the skirt chasers. I'd rather be at the casino nursing a beer and watching the aussies smash sri lanka in the first test. Dianas Secret will do me though.

Back em well and have fun, Kanga.

Between dead and slow the track manager reckons.

[hardlyahawk]

Early Thoughts lean me towards

Zipping > Master O Reilly
> Purple Moon, Princess Coup, Sculptor, Maybe Better
> The Fuzz, Mahler, Sirmione and any other horse

[goldmember]

Omen tip is, Maybe Better

Colours: Yellow + Black = Jockey: Brown :D

Depends on what the track ends up, but i'm looking towards Blue Monday , Maybe better, Zipping and Bluetigeroo to win from Purple Moon and Princess Coup

[Spartacus]

couldn't get the master in your top 6 goldie ???

[Matilda]

Hi all,

Any comment on the race pattern?. Who will lead and who are the back comer?. Do chip in your thought. Thanks.

[Raw Instinct]

This race is starting to look interesting the question is can Master O'Reilly handle a 2.5kgs rise in the weights from the Caulfield Cup compared to everyone else he met in that race, As impressive as the win was there were some excuses for the chasers and that is a nice turn around in weight out to 2 miles.

Purple Moon: looks very hard to beat as far as I am concerned his trainer is world class and by all reports he is flying got the right jockey on board as well as he usually gives a good ride in this race.

Maybe Better: He looks dour enough and the rain around won't hurt him but I must admitt I am going to find it real hard to back him I keep finding excuses for this bloke and at this point a bet on him on tuesday will be nothing more than a nice saver bet plain and simply I have ridden along this far might aswell follow to the final hurdle stranger things have happened.

Blutigeroo: I like this bloke here I know he ran in the Sydney Cup and was beaten but he has been trained for this trip this time around not to mention from memory I believe he loves it wet (I could be wrong) either way he is as good a roughie as there is in this I feel.

Sirmione: Can't believe I am saying this but he is not out of this drops beautifully in weight and is improving atleast yesterday was a shock tuesday won't be for me, he most likely will start unders however because of the Cummings factor so he will be included in multiples but that is about as far as it goes for me also likes the cut out.

Efficient: I still feel that he is a better chance than Zipping maybe I am nuts but he is more dour and will stick out the trip I consider Zipping a doubt of doing that, a bit of rain doesn't hurt his chances either another I have felt was right in this from he start not going to leave him out now.

Master O'Reilly: I know he won the Caulfield Cup but the penalties he has gotten just might catch up with him here, one thing to say here as with most races this spring expect the unexpected cause it has happened in nearly every major race.

This are not my final picks just quickly going over some that I like I am entertaining Mahler, Blue Monday, Gallic among others I just want to sit down and review some races and form before I get to crazy will post again either tomorrow or tuesday.

The Leaders in the race will most likely be Mahler, Tungsten Strike? (I don't know someone had mentioned that he can take up a position), Sculptor & Lazer Sharp wouldn't completely shock either in a race like this there will be speed from somewhere eventually I do expect Mahler to hit the lead though.

[Northern]

I backed Purple Moon before it ran in the CC and i got a very healthy price im now worrying with the state of the track it could possibly be slow by tuesday and i know for a fact that Purple moon doesnt really like it wet all his runs O/S have been on firm going and the one run on Soft was unplaced. It wouldnt surprise me to see a 15-1 or higher win as nothing really stands out. I have learnt that CC form over the years is the best lead up race but im still not convinced with MOR win. Try On a Jeune,Efficient,and Gallic as roughies although i will be cheering loud on Purple Moon!!

[goldmember]

Spar, just my gut feeling tells me that he's won his race, the CC,[impressive as he was] Maldivian and Eskimo Queen scratched at the barriers, the race just opened right up for him,doubt if he get a run like that again

[westi]

11-MASTER O'REILLY
4-GALLIC
22-ESKIMO QUEEN
6-EFFICIENT
24-MAHLER
8-TUNGSTEN STRIKE

[crash]

I've finally had a good look at the form today and boy is this a weak race. You could build a house with all the hype [it's that solid] talking this race up in the media.
---------------------------------------------------------
MASTER O'REILLY
The one to beat on recent form.
ZIPPING 6g
Won a G2 a year ago and had a 3rd in a G2 over 1600m at MV Sept. this year.
Strung 6w together in a row in 2005 in modest races, but only 2w out of 10 since. Has been consistently racing above his class in my opinion. Keeps looking good but never goes on with it [you know what I mean]. Might place.
PRINCESS COUP 4m
Needs a good or dead 4 at worst.
MAHLER
Only had 6 starts and too inexperienced I think for such a big event.
PURPLE MOON 5g
Won over the distance but it was a weak $6k race. Best efforts: Won at York in Aug. over 2800m HCP 280K and won a Listed race $45k. Place chance for me.
SIRMIONE 4g
An Encosta de Largo smokey from Bart who has come good, right on queue. If sneaky old Bart is ever going to win another MC this is his big chance, as it is as weak as water.
MAYBE BETTER
Been up for 7 runs this prep. and the form has been woeful. Won a G3 a year ago but hasn't fired a shot since, not even a place. Maybe never again in this life.
EFFICIENT 4g
Inefficient and bored with racing. Done nothing since last year but could win a country C1 to pay a few feed bills perhaps?
GALLIC 8g
A Zabeel horse. Age is a worry but going strong. Barrier is another big worry. Can place or even win if it gets lucky enough from b24 ?
ESKIMO QUEEN 4m
Another one bored with racing and going nowhere in this life. Try back to own sex.
ON A JEUNE 7g
On a hiding to nothing. Apart from a 3rd 1st up at Balaklava last year, hasn't won or placed since 2005. Not even in a miserable $20k race.
BLUTIGEROO
Name sound like 'Glue' dosn't it? Hasn't gotten closer than 7ths. this prep. from 6 starts, but did win a G1 at Rosehill in March this year and 1 lth. off Gallic over Cup distance for a 5th. in a G1 in May. Dead or slow is OK. Place chance.
DOURO VALLEY 6g
Another by Ecosta de Largo and at least the form has been consistent and good this year [a rare thing among a lot of these runners]. Wet OK and a winning or place chance for sure.
SCULPTOR 5h
A heavily raced horse [44 starts]. Has never won a Group race in 10 Group race attempts in NZ [he placed once in a G2 in 2005]. The fact he won a G3 on Sat. is a clear indication of how bad this season's runners have mostly been. OK in the wet.
THE FUZZ
Peaked start before last in my opinion and needs a spell.
BLUE MONDAY 7g
Last win was a weak G3 over 2200m 14 mths ago. Considering the competition here, a place chance?
DOLPHIN JO 5g
Form OK. Beat the Fuzz at Flemington 3 starts back but has been up for 7 starts. If he has one more good run in him he might place or even win this as he ran a 2nd [New Kid in Town/Dolphin Joe/Sentire] 5th up at the distance at Sandown in the slow last prep. and Sandown form is good Flemington form. He'll grow and extra leg on the wet track and is a win or place chance.
TAWQEET
Last win was a over a year ago. A bit of an improvement last start but has been racing like a donkey who doesn't want to be there.
SCENIC SHOT
Last start was a shocker and probably needs a spell.
------------------------------------------------
No thanks:
TUNGSTEN STRIKE ?
LAZER SHARP
BLACK TOM
SARRERA [heavy tracker].
RAILINGS [how did he get in?]
-----------------------------------------------
My early selections in order:
MASTER OREILLY, DOURO VALLEY, DOLPHIN JOE, SIRMIONE, GALLIC, BLUTIGEROO, PURPLE MOON

Considering the weights, odds and the Sandown form over this distance in the slow, I think Dolphin Joe is a good e/w smokey.

[Oaksnaf]

M&M's here for the quinella... Master O'Reilly and Purple Moon.

[sportzRus]

Master O'Reilly
Gallic
Maybe Better
Sculptor

[ijuandaQLD]

contrary to everyones thoughts i believe Master O'reilly has peaked. I know he's racing well but i dont know if he'll get the 3200m especially since the caulfield cup was his go. he definitely still one of the top chances but i think the strong run in the caulfield cup may have hurt his chances for this race.

im probably wrong but IMO Master and Zipping should be swapped in betting.

[bagwon]

(24) Mahler
(11) Master O'Reilly
(19) Douro Valley
(4) Gallic

[crash]

I'm worried about MO's extra 3kg weight now in what's looking like a slow track for Tues. now. I was surprised to hear of more rain in Melb. I thought it would pan out to a dead by Cup time. Doesn't look like it even with the new drainage. If it stays a jog and sprint though [who is going to sacrifice themselves to put the speed on?], MO is still a good chance but maybe a bad bet at the odds. For a slow track I'm putting Dolphin Joe on top as a e/w bet.

[Dancing Sun]

Watch out for Sculptor if its slow

[Dancing Sun]

Gallic has only been beaten once on a dead track over 2000m

[Gasomo93]

Tab no.4 Gallic
Tab no. 18 Dolphin Jo

[odericko]

blutigeroo...ive never bet bigger than 50 ...but ill be on this one for the place at the least ....i might splurge and go the big 100 ...scary

[diogenes]

What's that great line by Gallic's trainer....it's broken down more times than Grandpops lawnmower.
Would be great to see him at the finish.

Very sharp work by Crash.
Very.

7 MAYBE BETTER
9 ZIPPING
11 MASTER O'REILLY
17 SCULPTOR

[Horse Whisperer]

Blue Monday slow track form reads 5: 2-2-0, seems to be improving as the distances get bigger. Last start on a wet track was 4l behind Collier Hill. In this field i think that is pretty good form. $41 - $11 seems pretty good value.

[Usurper]

Plenty of rain today, but shouldn't be as much/any tomorrow and they are thinking clear Tuesday. Track could very well be dead(4) -> good(3). IMHO.

For sure, it will hold up the next race [in any conditions]!

[Northern]

Purple Moon has been backed off the planet today! Lucky i got on before the CC im feeling very confident of at least a Top 3 finish??

[wesmip1]

Is it raining in Mebourne today ?

Makes it hard to do form the day before .... oh well.

Good luck.

Do the form for dead. No more rain and good drainage.

[INTERGAZE]

no, no rain today at all, just mild winds which should dry the track out a bit, will probably be a dead track, and no rain forecast at all for today/tomorrow.

My tips: Maybe Better (backed it last month, it with Master OReilly :CC & MC double) and Princess Coup who i am really starting to lean towards!



http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/radar/

[maverick1993]

go back to the start and we all tip Efficient to win,,,after the dato chin nam fung wung dung stakes he looked right on track,,
then he was on "that Track" in the Turnball,,,the cox wasnt run to suit ,,,
hindsight is a wonderful thing ,,,

[topsy99]

sirmione 88/1 blinkers off that day

go back to the start and we all tip Efficient to win

i think efficient stands out :)


i said that 15th october and still only had it for 2nd and 3rd in my trifectas :(

[Bon]

I was so close, yet so far away to the trifecta.

Had a boxed trifecta with Mahler, Purple Moon, Zipping, Princess Coup, MO, Blue Lazer... didnt give Efficient a chance really, he ********ed it all up for me, if only he could have come 4th!

2 years ago I had Railings, Maybe Better, Maybke Diva and On a Jeune... didnt know what a boxed trifecta was then, had them in the wrong order and wrong combos so I missed it!

One day I will get it!
