nice form

Have done my shares of investigation into Geordieland and am

Already willing to back it.

Very impressive , 54 kgs sees it hard to beat.

Connections bought the horse totally in view of winning the Melbourne

Cup.

At 30's a great risk.

Glistneing for me, have 51's about it in September.... who know, might just be a donation :o

Hi all,

Anyone have the form for IMPERIAL STRIDE?. Wondering why paying only at 21?

frogs on toast: i think ice chariot is an excellent horse, but hearing glen lynch on the radio this morning he was saying he thinks the horse is a yr away from being competitive in a melbourne cup.

anyone know where pavlova is on the order of entry?? 48kg's will make it nicely weighted if it gets a run.

Have found it hard to get real interested in the cup this year so far infact I am probably looking forward to the Cox Plate more than the Melbourne Cup. I have had a small bet on Railings when they 1st opened the Cup betting when they had the double price offer of $34 which isn't bad the same odds I got him for both cups last year however I amnot as confident he will run a good race this year as I was last year.

Tawqeet will be hard to beat on his metrop win and you can't knock what Activation did there (I just wonder if he can get the 3200m). As far as the imports go I don't know anything about any of them however I don't think any of them are going to have to be that great to win this race our stayers just do not look great right now.

Our Smoking Joe is always a chance when he runs he is still a query at 3200m but he is settling alot better this prep, On a Jeune is also a chance seems to be ticking along nicely.

One of the younger horses I have a little time for is Victory Sweep he looks like a real 2 miler already just not sure he will get into the field.

I have been keen on On A Jeune since it passed the post last Nov. I have followed its progress this prep and have been very happy watching it carry the big weights and being quite competitive. I was very happy with its run on 7 October at Flemington where it strolled to the line 5th of 12, about 1.5 lengths, over 2530m. I thinks the odds are about right at about $13/$4 at the moment and will have a nibble at him each way.

I also like Our Smoking Joe, Tawqeet, Sphenophyta, Activation and Serenade Rose at this early stage
