C.B. Cox Stakes
 

If BLACK TOM can win the C.B. Cox Stakes don't know how they'll beat him in the Perth Cup given he's more favourably weighted in the cup itself!

C.B. Cox Stakes
 

MASTER MINX and OUR GREY HALO look OK EW ;)

The winner of the C.B. Cox Stakes gets exemption into the Perth Cup right?

Last race at 6:20pm! WOAH, that is late!

grey matter wrap-up
 

Good day at Bunbury yesterday thanks to Strawb Knows saluting at 44/1+: La Fille Du Champ (unplaced), Royal Title (scr) and Strawb Knows (1st), Haka Star (unplaced), Our Nicola (unplaced), Smoke Bush and Miss Pavlinovich (both unplaced) and Eaton Money (unplaced).

Don't know for sure but would makes sense ;)

Strawb Knows
 

What a lovely price as well! One thing about backing greys - they're easy to spot throughout a race :lol:

BLACK TOM of course but also BON ARGENT EW.

Starstruck Classic
 

I think all but one met in the Jungle Dawn Classic, although we now go up in distance from 1400 to 1600. The winner that day Zanella goes up 3kg but did win easily by 2lens.

The exclusion Empire Dancer will be suited by the distance and looks a genuine chance.

Perth Cup
 

Looking at the interstate entries remaining in the Perth Cup I’ve rated them in order of chance (IMO), showing current price. To my knowledge only those with an asterisk have made it to Perth and I doubt most remaining will make the trip.

HUGS DANCER been around (unplaced) in a few 3200 9/1
* CAUGHT COURTING unplaced 3200 7/1
LORD ERIN not gone 3200 furthest 2600 & 2690 unplaced both 10/1
* QUINTANELLA won over 3000 14/1
* ROMAN ARCH 14th Melbourne Cup 2004 25/1
SENTIRE furthest 2400 16/1
* BESWINGING won over 2500 150/1
ACTION SHOT unplaced 2560 & 2400 100/1
BEAU placed 3200 25/1
* YA YA EFFENDI placed over 2800 unplaced 3200 34/1
FOXTOWN unplaced 2400 200/1
PORTLINE placed over 3000 150/1
PRODESSE placed over 2400 150/1

A little surprised ROMAN ARCH is so far down your list arnoldz.
Might have a nibble BESWINGING at 150/1.
Thankz for your input :)
