im not convinced miss finland will run out the journey strongly enough to get into the money

Spot on Staggerlee.

Bolted 2 starts ago & just fell in last time.

IMO not seasoned enough to be competitive against ES & RTW.

If she was mine she'd be going to the paddock for a rest now.

I agree. She's barely running out a strong 1600m now. How they think she can compete against the top horses over 2040 (even with a featherweight) is beyond me. Time for a rest and perhaps aim for next year's plate.

..just been announced that CC runner-up Aqua D'’Amore will back-up in Saturday’s Cox..have to be a genuine chance on Saturdays effort!

If Savabeel can win a Cox plate anything can!

you hit the nail right on the head there mv!

OSJ to be ridden by D. Beadman. Certain Starter as just reported on TVN!

will OSJ be able to back up? im not too sure if he can...

Any speculation on the field here guys this is the way I thought it might shape up in no particular order really.

1. El Segundo
2. Racing to Win
3. Fields of Omagh
4. Grey Swallow
5. Honor in War
6. Casual Pass
7. Miss Finland
8. Pompeii Ruler
9. Lad of the Manor
10. Red Dazzler
11. Apache Cat
12. Aqua D'Amore
13. Super Kid (Darci Brahma might be an outside chance aswell as Seachange not sure here)

I think they will use the maximum field not sure if that is 13 or 14 anymore shame they didn't decide to go to this race with Excites not 100% certain he would have gotten into the field but he would be a far better chance of running a good 2000m than Miss Finland in my persoanl opinion.

Lad of the Manor and El Segundo for me at the moment.

I don't know much about the two overseas horses, can anyone shed some light there?
