My Ratings
 

Eremein $2.00
Xcellent $4.00
Stella Grande $10.00
Outback Prince $10.00
King Johny $20.00

The top 2 picks look to have a clear form edge here. Both have projected peaks of 71. Difference between the two are Brown v Coleman (gotta admit I know nothing of him) and gate 3 v gate 10.

Eremein gets all the ticks for mine. Has had a perfect prep; only beaten by fitness at Canterbury, dominant at Rosehill with a 67 rating (wait till he produces his 71), and is drawn to get the run of the race.

Stella Grande & King Johny can improve and both are probably better chances than the raitngs suggest.

Xlent looks good but i'm un willing to take the odds..not sure of the jockey or whether the horse can handle such a race and the track conditions..
to many minuses for me...
Might have an eachway on Outback prince who was only a few lenghts off the mighty mare mast time...has to be the best form line around here..

I have a major concern with Xcellent. I watched his win LS and it was a nice win, and I was beginning to get impressed seeing as it was a group 1 WFA, when I noticed something odd: Lashed came third.

Lashed wouldn't come third in a PROPER group 1 in Australia if there were only three runners. This is a major concern.

One other thing - what's wrong with Outback Prince's chances? He finished 4.5 lens off the world's greatest stayer last start....

Xcellent is a real spanner in the works here. Have no real gauge on how it will travel.

Outback Prince, I think might be suited to maybe a shorter distance. Don't forget she rolled Dance Hero over 1400, and also beat a fast finishing Eremein.

Jymcarew has the Glen Boss Factor. Never discount.

Eremein it will be. Unless the Kiwi says otherwise.

Xcellent will win this with a leg in the air.Four starts wins,2 of those at G1.Last start beat St.Reims,which is no slug on its day,and Lashed.No disrespect Duritz,Lashed is not a genuine G1 nag,but she has run a couple of placings behind Starcraft!!!!IMO none of our 3yos can stay.No such thing as a racing certainty,but this one looks ************ close for mine.IMO it should be evens,so having my biggest hit of the year thus far.Go you good thing!!!

Yeah I agree on the query our horses to stay. Outback Prince had the run of the race in the BMW last start and had definitely had enough on the line.

The one who will stay is Eremein, IMO. Strong at the end LS and I think it will go better again at the longer trip. I'll be backing it because I think Xcellent will be too short and therefore provide value.

What an absolute, utter pathetic joke that Kiwi was. But no, I was stupid enough to listen to the experts and chuck it in as a quinella with Eremein. Jeez that was poor.

Put it down to an absolutely horrific ride...M T Coleman- useless as are most NZ Jockeys.
