Vouvray is at $21 on sportsbet. Apart from GA and diva this looks like the horse that can win. I think that price represents value

The Diva is a special.

Followed by

Vouvray / Grand Armee
and then the 3yo's

There are a few plodders in there that will just get in the way.

Can someone explain to me why Makybe Diva isnt the top weight?? I dont understand how it can race so well and have 55.5.

Grand Armee
Vouvray
Makybe Diva

Is Grand armee a 2400m horse?
I think Makybe Divas odds will shorten $2.35 on Unitab fixed is pretty good
dont know about Cheval de troy
Vouvray would be competitive on best form,caulfield cup run was good
Cheers

Horse Whisperer, its a WFA event, not a Hcp.

Len Beasley to ride MAHTOUM

I can definately see Makybe racing favourite here, but although she is so good and i have won so much from her, i don't think she'll beat Grand Armee. He gets all the favors in this race and he certainly was strong at the end of 2000, i think anything over even money he's a great bet.

Grand Armee on his home turf,,to hard to beat...
I think Hugs Dancer will run a nice race..last time he did all the futile chasing behind GA hoping this time he'll settle back and have a go at the end ..the longer the race the better....hope its a good track ...i might just have a go at him....still thinking :)
about time there was an upset !!

I just want to see this race; one of the sporting highlights of the year.

She'll run him down. She wouldn't if it were 2000m, but she CERTAINLY will over 2400. (assuming she doesn't do an elvstroem, gag gag!)

Makybe Diva to win
County Tyrone to place

Word has it that all the money is for the diva and now sportsbet has been left with no choice but to install makybe diva as a $2.00 favourite ahead of grand armee at $2.10.

I think tomorrow if it continues to rain ..The diva will be even shorter...
GA isn't hopeless in the wet..fantastic value ,,might even get 2.40 ..

You can see how popular Makybe Diva is by the early tote figures. She's only 1.40 at the moment and Grand Armee is $6.80!!!

i think she is good value anything above $1.35, because she is GOING TO WIN

She is the best horse in Australia right now absolutely amazing win Grand Armee should have walked in he cannot run 2400m the mare just might be the best horse I have seen I certainly haven't seen many better if any.

for her to be able to just sprint for about 600m is unbelievable. That was a brilliantly run race by her - she had him even before the turn. Forget that Grand Armee wasn't going to run the distance, just look at how easily the diva made up the 12 length lead in the blink of an eye. Almost a hands and heels win

What a top run, props to Makybe and Bossy, a very ballsy run once again, greatest horse ive had the pleasure of witnessing!

Chuck don't get me wrong not knocking her at all Grand Armee got every chance to run the distance out she is an out and out champion
