AJC Derby
 

liked the runs of Largo Lad & Red Ruler in the Rosehill Guineas

currently rated a heavy 9

yeah, a decisive alley – irrespective of how the track will play by the time the race is run
wont want to miss the kick

Who would have thought a month or so back that you could get 50/1 for German Chocolate! Sure GCs last run was poor but imo the run was completely out of character. And sure better suited on a dry track but has won on the wet.

I've put a little ew Megatic (from WA) capable of placing (at his best) but doubt he can win Forensics deserves to be fav on her last run but how she will handle the wet track remains to be seen If Eskimo Queen can repeat her last start effort she will be hard to hold out Likewise Casino Prince The topweight Mentality not without a chance at the odds especially if the track improves

I've been most impressed by West Aussie & Turnbull Stakes runner-up Scenic Shot's form this time in. Trainer Danny Morton pleased as punch with his gutsy victory in the Hollindale Stakes. Should be primed for the Doomben Cup!

eskimo queen my early top choice

Michael Moroney looks well placed with his trio
Understand Sarrera and Eskimo Queen will definitely run
Apparently Mission Critical needs a firm track - a little unusual for a horse from NZ!
