Alinghi is the deserved favourite and has done everything right thus far... but I have picked Wager before and I'll stick with the same..Wager will explode from the start and keep them all honest and if Alinghi does win then she's a champion! It will be quick and no room for mistakes!
Good luck everybody!

Gai's horses Wager and Dance Hero may work against each other, they will ensure a cracking pace just right for Alinghi to swoop over the top of them at the 200 and go right on with it. And you don't often need luck when D Oliver is aboard.

good luck Slades.
Cheers Ed

I have a liking for Fastnet Rock and WAGER Gai Waterhouse horse with D Beasley on top.

hi everyone
info from other sites have dance hero 2 pts
clear of alinghi
charge forward and alinghis trainer jockey combo are just about equally rated
i think alinghi should win the race just on how she ran her last race
my value tip is for #14 tahni girl
cya

Charge Forward for me to beat Alinghi.. and She's In Demand a bit of value 3rd

You all seem hellbent on finding something to beat Alinghi......I'll give you a tip...don't bother!This is the closest thing to a certainty I have ever seen.Good on ya Sladey,goyougoodthing!!!!

AlINGHI.

Roughie - Burning Sands.

Be interesting to see what the Waterhouse jockeys tactics are tommorrow.Dance Hero cant win unless it leadsIt ran quick time in the MM but was given the lead easily.Wager has more early speed,but will he let his stablemate lead?And what Crimson Reign,its got early speed to burn,so has Tahni Girl.Alinghi can sit on the pace or come from behind,d asa they will most likely burn the turf up front,they are going to play right into her hands(or feet).My only concern is the awkward alley(11)Damien will have to be careful he doesnt get trapped out in no mans land or have to drop right back and come from near last as she had to in the Diamond.All things being equal and without(hopefully)G.Boss knocking half the field out of play,she will be too good for them.

WAGER IS SCRATCHED!!!!!!!
