Gday all

my ratings have Grand Armee on top.. but I ain't convinced yet. I would want about $4 to back him.. I don't know that we would get that.. so bearing that in mind I am looking away from Grand Armee and will have a lil each way on Forum Floozie.. 49.5 kg is a real luxury weight

i like Zabarra e/w - an improver, and i'm gonna have a little on Stoway, well weighted on his best ratings.

Grand Armee is the best horse in the race, but simply because it's a hcp he's no good thing. Thorn Park is in the same class, but he's a sprinter. Stepping up from 1100m to a mile?

I am staying away from the fancied runners who in my eyes all have a disadvantage, Excellerator i think is racing like he wants it longer then 1600m now, Grand Armee is totally overrated (I'll eat my words if it wins!!), Clangalang has had a setback, Thorn Park won't get 1600m especially from barrier 18 and probably will be ridden from the tail.

In saying that i think (11) Zabarra will win, likes the track, distance and has the inside barrier, I think he is a classic Randwick miler.

(20) Forum Floozie for 2nd, light weight, will be around midfield and at peak fitness.

(12) Stoway for 3rd, Likes the track and has a nice barrier and light weight for a change.

Longshot, the bridesmaid (16) Britt's Best.

Cheers.

for mine I'll have zabarra,amex,nip's,boreale
Good luck everyone!

Congrats umrum, top effort!
