Yeah, the wide draw is a bit of a worry in such a good field, but he did win so well last start after copping a bit of interferance early on. I might have a bit more for a place with fixed odds.

How do ya think your namesake will go, if you don't mind me asking (I know you like to keep things close to your chest these days :roll: )

My mail is that David has him primed and ready. Done a treat during his layoff but not suited under the WFA scale. Be pleasantly surprised if he gets into the finish.

Okay, thanks Perth Placegetter, might include in my multiples anyway. You never know, still a youngster & most likely still on the improve.


So, the big question, is Ellicorsam over the line?

Good question Paddy. If you ignore her last effort in Hannans, my answer would be an emphatic no. Although she’d previously won 4 in a row in WA by an average of around 4lens, she’d only beaten mid-week class. Also had an unsuccessful stint in SA, although did have a few problems during that campaign.

Seems to have relished the short break after the SA campaign and did win the Hannan’s on her ear and improved considerably on her best city rating in doing so.

I’ll include her in my multiples, but at the odds on offer, that’s about it. There’s a few in the race, that appear to be offering much better value.

Ellicorsam could easily go on with it, so if you like her don’t let me deter you from backing her.

I think she can win but too short for my liking. I've backed Prince Of Vasac EW, huge win last start. Also like Modem, Golden Delicious and Redwoldt. Might box those five.

Thanks again Sandgroper and good morning Geez (no! it’s still evening over there).

Forgot about Modem, great first-up record and will have the services of the pontiff. Have to add that one to my multiples as well – the list is growing.

So Sandgroper, one final question. What are you backing??

Still up Paddy, isn’t past your bedtime? Just after 9.30 over here, what’s your excuse?

What am I’m backing?

From memory someone asked you that very thing on the Melbourne cup thread, don’t recall a reply :smile:

Well if you must know I backed Vinnie & Hugs! Now aren’t we glad I didn’t post before the race :wink:

Funny that! Hugs was one of my bets as well. Nothing finishing better over the last bit, but got way too far back.

What am I’m backing Paddy. As many starters as I can, if I can get the right odds.


But if pushed for just the one selection, it would be the bottom weight.
