Paddy, your a legend. The fields for the upcoming week always kick me out of the monday morning (or for this week tuesday morning) blues.

Cheers

[Paddy]

I see Alinghi is still listed as fav even though its been reported that Lee Freedman has ruled out a start in this race for the champion filly. Next start for Alinghi is likely to be the TJ Smith Stakes (1200m).

[Tenacious Spirit]

I thought Freedman changed his mind about the TJ and opted for the queen of the turf

??

[brave chief]

well she is nominated for the george ryder. keeping his options open.

[Mr ed]

He said this morning if she was running this weekend it would be in the Queen, and why not same money G1 at WFA over the same distance, one for open class the other for fillies and mares.

[brave chief]

What? The Queen of the Turf is now a G1 as well?!

For ages there was only 1 G1 for mares, now overnight there are 4. Maybe even 5, Brissy will probably want one in the winter too :p

[maverick1993]

I think CIS has most of these covered,,,he's a fighter .and will be rock hard fit ....
I'm hoping a roughie gets in the placings..i think Johan's Toy could sneak a place with the weight and extra 100m..not sure she's tough enough though to win and will need all the brakes..
and i dont think This Manshood is all that hopless...was alot to like about his first up run..and was close up last year in this race against a better field..
and is as tough as they come..
Patezza, Danni Martine and Winning Bell look the dangers..

Might just have a crack at the tris and 1st4's in this race ..because i think its fairly open..

[brave chief]

Haven't rated it yet, but Johan's Toy has J Ford and barrier 16. Will need luck by the bucket full.

[Chuck]

My opinion is that Desert War will win. He has been specifically trained for this, and his last run wasn't that bad at all. For the multiples, i am looking at: Toulouse Lautrec - Will relish the extra distance...Ike's Dream - COnsistent of late, great last two runs...Modem - If the track suits him he will go well, got squashed last start on the way to a huge run...Utzo is another one with a need for the mile

Johans Toy seems to be developing into a bit of a Republic Lass i.e. he always finishes well, but when it goes up in distance has the same run - it will probably have a good run, maybe 5th
1600m is probably too short for Winning Belle, but maybe too long for CIS

[Tenacious Spirit]

No concrete judgements here but a few early comments.

NB: Apparently there is some heavy rain for sydney. Therefore some of my comments will take account of this. If it doesnt rain then just disregard everything i have said. Or just disregard it anyway, whatever you like.

Desert War - Havn't decided yet. Hasn't really delivered. Form at randwick and will like the rain that is apperently on the way to sydney.
CIS - ditto maverick's comments. Stoogy barrier draw though for a horse that likes to lead.
Tui Song has ike's dream covered now carrying 51kg, which means alot of others are covered.
Toulous Lautrec - Predicting a suprise. Hawkes has him targetted at this race. Do not underestimate.
Modem - Couldn;t have had a harsher check last start. Extremely bad luck last time. Would have cleaned them up otherwise IMO. Wide barrier but will get back anyway and need the luck that he didn't get last time.
Natural Blitz - If it pours, then I would have my cat rather than NB.
This Manshod - Ditto Maverick
Patteza - Was finishing of strongly last start. Will be there abouts again i should think . Shite barrier.
Ikes Dream - Hardly convincing win last start. More improvement in second and third runners IMO. Probably wrong though.
Osca Warrier - Won't win. Full stop.
Sky Cuddle - In it up to his eyeballs if the rain is that high.
Winning Belle - Ryan on board is a plus. But i think she will be a bit dour.
Charnwood Green - Others look better.
Nips - Cannot remeber last start, unwilling to comment.
Al Maher - Drawn to get the run of the race and previous form indicates he is one of the main chances
Danni Martine - Ultra consistant and was hitting the line hard last start. Many plusses.
Utzon - Ran well from a wide barrier last start, carrying .5kg less. Draws 2 here and I am expecting a very god run.
Tui Song - Showing vast improvement with each run. Drops 4.5, beaten narrowly last start. VERY GOOD hope.
Johans Toy - Not sure if it looks the winner, but could snag a place with a sack of feathers on her back.

I am open to any criticism and additions to what i have said.

Just though i would get the ball rolling on what apears to be a very open race.

Cheers,
Matt

[maverick1993]

Desert War...not sure about him,,,thought he should be doing more..
CIS....i dont think the distance is a worry...i reckon it suits him even more..
Patezza...has been finishing off so well,,,is in rare form and gets back so the barrier draw doesnt matter,,
Actually i dont even know the barrier draw,,has it been drawn already ??.
Winning Bell...i dont like horses coming back in distance ,,,but you have to like the way she went to the front and then fought back when the diva challenged her...,,,you cant get a better form line that that..and she's racing more prominent than she used to ,,so shes putting herself in the race..
Ikes dream fell in last week,,,
taulous ...should of been doing more aswell,,,
Al Maher...not sure about this one...very impressive last start when alot of people under estimated him...i wont be making the same mistake this week,,
include in the multis..

TOULOUSE LAUTREC

[Mr ed]

I think Tui Song is also huge value @ $26, she'd have beaten Ikes Dream by a couple if she hadn't missed the kick, drops 3 kg from her for that run and Ikes Dream is equal favourite. Extra 100m suits, any rain around probably suits her as much as anything else, "she's a bloody good mare" Rogy says, i agree and with a postage stamp weight in a lucklustre field she's in this up to her eyeballs. Dangers include CIS, Al Maher and Sky Cuddle, i am confident the winner will come from this quartet.

[Punter4211]

Ok, I'm sticking my neck out, but my ratings show that all but about 3-4 runners in the Doncaster will be fighting out the finish....

My ratings show that we could expect a "Wall of Horses" at the finish line with less than 2 lths seperating most of the field..

If this happens I'll get more of a kick out of my ratings being right than picking the winner... Best Bet ----- Lots of multi Trifectas and Quinellas

I will be at the track on Monday, you'll see me jumping up and down near the finish line if this happens.

Good Luck All....

OzPunter... (Qld)

[maverick1993]

I really like Winning Bell here...goes against the norm for me ,,but her run in Oz cup was huge ..and i think this is her distance,,the wetter the track the better .. the video has convinced me about this horse and the more i look at it the more i like her.
Ryn on board just seals the deal..
Go the belle ...

[Raw Instinct]

This is such a hard race to work out as you all know for mine most of the favs looked very flat last start outside Courts in Session and Al Maher. Tui Song would be my top pick she should handle the conditions well and should get back along the inside which going by the saturdy racing is better than pulling out 6 wide into the straight. Al Maher is the hardest to beat for mine he has been racing extremely well as much as it pains me to say that being one of waterhouses horses he should settle not to far off the pace and should be pretty strong at the end of the mile.


Outside of those 2 it is an absolute lottery for me with chances to Courts in Session (have my doubts he can lead this one all of the way) Desert War (couldn't have it on it's last run but is a good galloper) Modem (should be huge odds and he is spot on right now to jump out of his skin as long as he gets a bit of luck) Ikes Dream (not much to fault her except badly in at the weights against Tui Song this time and I felt she should have beat her last start)Sky Cuddle (put the writing on the wall last start she is ready and the wetter the better). If there is more rain today not sure on the forecast then I think one of the better roughies might be Charnwood Green he is huge odds and I will say on a dry track he would have no hope at all against this field but if this track turns into an absolute bog then he has a good chance of running into the placings at around the 80-1 mark

Good old outside barrier gets 'em again.

[mecurial]

Hmm. Poor ride Nick Ryan, Winning Belle needed to be ridden up on the speed to have any chance.

Patezza flew home though, has improved out of sight in the last month. Great effort Guy Walter getting 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Just looked a little bit too long for Court's In Session.

[topsy99]

patezza hooray.

[Sportz]

Well, I thought a trainer with the initials G.W might get the trifecta, but I was thinking of the wrong one. :o

I think CIS has most of these covered,,,he's a fighter .and will be rock hard fit ....
I'm hoping a roughie gets in the placings..i think Johan's Toy could sneak a place with the weight and extra 100m..not sure she's tough enough though to win and will need all the brakes..
and i dont think This Manshood is all that hopless...was alot to like about his first up run..and was close up last year in this race against a better field..
and is as tough as they come..
Patezza, Danni Martine and Winning Bell look the dangers..

Might just have a crack at the tris and 1st4's in this race ..because i think its fairly open..

Looks like you should have finished well on top mav :)

Winners are grinners topsy99 ;)

[topsy99]

sportscaster.

there's some inspired tipping on this forum at times.
last week we had the bunbury cup result and now the doncaster.
i cant get past trying to get the winner. these trifecta picks are outstanding.

i did back danni martine and patezza but i backed 3. horses without a lot of confidence except that my biggest bet of the day was on patezza.
this was due to its consistency and its tendency to get back and finish hard.

i was actually drawn to patezza a couple of starts ago when someone on here made it the lay of the day due to its getting back.
i have backed it twice since for two wins.
even though patezza gets back he was always close at the finish of his races.

[Raw Instinct]

Topsy he has always been a very good horse who just needs an ounce of luck to win races he has gotten that ounce of luck the last couple of times he has been out and gone very close to winning all 3 starts if he gets a straight run at them at the finish then he is hard to hold out.

[Sportz]

Had a couple of dollars on the horse because of the 3312/outside barrier formline but I have to say that the distance put me off him a bit. I'd always thought of him as a sprinter.

[topsy99]

patezza is by rubiton which won a cox plate.
perhaps he was meant to be a stayer which is why he always seemed to arrive late in shorter races.

[Raw Instinct]

You could be right Topsy the way he won yesterday he could certainly get further.
