Littorio the one I like at the moment. Heart of Dreams 3rd up is going to be very good though as well.

[Raw Instinct]

I reckon Tobique might be a rough chance at good odds in what looks to be a very ordinary race.

There are some pretty well performed horses in this for an "ordinary" race ;)

[Matilda]

How about Growl?

[Raw Instinct]

HW I agree there are some well performed horses here but at this distance range is a different thing see how things go but geez I really feel this lacks some quality in a race I would find it hard to get to excited about backing any of them.

[Horse Whisperer]

i know what your saying raw, it's really in the middle of the ideal distance for alot of these. Maybe a little long for HOD's at his best, a little short for most of the others. I think 2000m is Littorio's distance. Got $26 a while back so going to be happy to just stick with that bet and cheer him home.

[OM SHARNTEE]

I fancy Our Aqaleem he will be =FV for the Melbourne Cup after this race.
Currrently $55 avail. on Bet Fair at the moment.

Three roughies for the place -- "Horse Whisperer's" choice Littorio
& "Barts" two. Sirmione & Moatize

Cheers

It has been announced that sole scratching Shocking will be reinstated in the Australian Cup field. Shocking was a race morning scratching from the Australian Cup due to a foot abscess but if he recovers he will be able to take his place in the postponed race.

[Horse Whisperer]

is the new field only going to be limited to the final acceptors?

[jake]

..original field & barriers..riders will be re-declared on thursday..

Good news for fans of Shocking. Looks almost certain to run in the rescheduled Australian Cup after responding to antibiotics for what was originally thought to be a foot abscess. Now thought to be just a minor infection.

Our Aqaleem has been put down after fracturing a shoulder during trackwork.

Is Shocking scratched again? He is no longer in Unitab.

[Horse Whisperer]

Yep scratched....again

Was a double blow for the Hayes camp. Changingoftheguard was also put down.
