[Paddy]

VICTORY SMILE – The winner of last years race. Is following same prep as last year, although on paper not performing quite as well. Can make it back-to-back wins. Currently 10/1 NSWTAB fixed odds.


TUMERIC – Perth Cup winner, now trained by Lee Freedman. Seems nicely in at the weights. Currently 40/1 NSWTAB fixed odds.


MR AMERICAN GOTHIC - This former Irish stayer has now had two runs since arriving in Australia. He beat home last year's Melbourne Cup winner Media Puzzle in a race at The Curragh in Ireland in September last year. Never won over anything shorter than 2414m, so suited at the distance. Reported to have had a trouble-free preparation and might surprise. Currently 33/1 NSWTAB fixed odds.

And also would include BODIE (NZ) - 2002 G3 Rotorua Cup (2300m) winner & 2003 Auckland Cup (3200m) winner. Currently 25/1 NSWTAB fixed odds.

[mystic]

Thanks for the advice, I have been wandering about Mr American Gothic and still waiting for that win. I think I will be snaping him up quick smart at 33/1

[Paddy]

Bulla Borghese has been scratched on veterinary advice late this afternoon.

This follows on from the scratching this morning of Half Hennessy.

With these two out, it will allow the first two emergencies (Bart Cummings trained horses), Daneborogh and Dashing Away, to now get a run.

With Bulla Borghese scratched I'm now including (15) OUTLAWS in my top 4.

[Wexford]

I am sticking with Bart

"DASHING AWAY" and he could easily quinella it.

[Sandgroper]

(15) Outlaws, (10) Comforts and (20) Dashing Away. Value bet (14) Navy Blue.
