ubetido has rated the EPSOM as follows:

sr7. 6/3/2/1/7/1613/5/10/9/4/8/15/12/11/14

Hope you don't mind me copying to this thread, ubetido.

[Moral]

Defier is a moral don't worry about anything else, he is very special.

[TESTAROSSA]

6 Excelerator , from 3 Defier and 16 Zabarra.

And agree with Sandgroper that Swiss Echo could be a knockout.

[Placegetter]

Without the benefit of a form guide.....

Crawl will be great value today. That's my tip. Suggested bet 1uW/4uP.

Good luck and what a race!

I agree too, CRAWL will (EDITED) on all of them watch him sprint home.

Excellerator is well in at the weights.
Excellerator 92
Zabarra 61
Defier 132
Many other chances as usual in big Randwick mile handicaps. One comment I have seen in the press is that with no speed in the race it is likely to be a sit and sprint affair. I don't think so. When was the last Epsom or Doncaster that wasnt run at a genuine pace? I cannot remember one.

[TESTAROSSA]

Legion ,

I recall the Doncaster of last year won by Assertive Lad was a slow paced race.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

[legion]

No Testa I wouldnt say it was a slowly run race at all. They broke 1.36 (just)and took 35.52 to run their last 600.In that case they ran the firt 1000m. in 1.00.47. In my book that is a genuine pace where all runners have their chance. Granted there have ben plenty of big miles at Randwick run at a faster pace but in my experience they never sit and sprint.

Crawl not as long as I might have thought. Will add 3,4,7,12 quinella for measure.
