Hi Westman, Do you have your list maybe I can compare to reduce my selection and have more confident.

I would just look at backing a few different horses for the win, its so dam hard to pick a trifecta in a MC when really up to 15 horses could win... every year there is a smokey in the placings nothing would surprise me this year either

Efficient and Yeats
 
Hey guys, i am an avid formguide reader :), and having gone through the melbourne cup field, i reckon that yeats and efficient have not run good enough times over any distance to feature in the finish. Efficient especially, should be 100/1 rather than 8/1...
what do you guys think?
My tips are:
Win - Tawqeet, Pop Rock
Place (Roughie) - Kerry O'Reilly
E/W - Maybe Better... He has run the best time over 2500m out of anyone in this years field and has drawn a great barrier with a generous weight
Cheers Guys!

Hi tmathe,

If you want to calculate by speed, Pop Rock has a better time compare to Maybe Better. 2-33.1 vs 2.35.86 but on weight term is 54Kg vs 57Kg. that in Japan vs Australia.

Watch the times from Japan the clock doesn't start until something like 20 metres into the race so the have a start on the clock meaning they already have a head of steam up when the clock starts rolling, Or atleast this is what I have heard and the sources are usually fairly reliable.

I agree on Yeats and his times he has run they are terribly slow has to put some sort of query over the horse doesn't it.

G'day e'one,


Just thought i'd share... spoke with mums friend today (a clairvoyant)
Ive always valued her opinion as she has an amazing history of success
In the cups over the years, i could talk about it all day.

Anyway she has said that a Grey horse will definately win this years cup.

Looks like Geordieland & Efficient are the only ones that come under Grey.....

They will do me.


Good luck Everyone
