Going for 3E’s to finish 1,2,3.

EXCELLERATOR – The winner of last years race, back to form on the weekend. Seems very well weighted to me, and can make it back-to-back wins. Currently 10/1 NSWTAB fixed odds.


EVANDER – Ran 4th in this race last year and like EXCELLERATOR also seems well weighted. Doesn’t win too many but capable of filling a place at least. Currently 66/1 NSWTAB fixed odds.


EMISSION - Another who doesn’t win many, but did win this year’s Group 3 BTC Sprint. Has run some good races over the 1600m, and could surprise at good odds. Currently 33/1 NSWTAB fixed odds.

Finally, watch out for the NZ mare – CONQUISTAR, is she starts.
This mare has won both G2 & G3 races over 1600m back in NZ. Currently 25/1 NSWTAB fixed odds.

Hello Paddy,
Do you know who is qual/starting/needs to qual. this week or where I can find the info.
What about Gordo's chances?
Cheers

I rate Gordo a good chance boxhead, and he could easily improve on his 3rd last year.

clangalang, grand armee, excellerator and forum floozie box them for the tri

My ratings (in order) based on a good track. I note my top rated is currently 16/1. Good EW bet in an open race :wink: Good luck everyone!

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!

cheers
umrum
