Interesting to see how Grey's Inn performs here.....have backed it in the Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup so hoping for a good run....

Mummify beat nothing last start but won the Mackinnon last year so is still performing

Fields of Omagh peaks around this year so watch out for it

Perlin's Underwood win was impressive, still not sure on it

Confectioner had a blistering run in the turnbull after missing the start. Watch for it again

Plastered had a surprisingly good run last start and can only mprove on that

Lachlan River is a genuine Caulfield Cup chance and will get home late

El Segundo will be doing everything to win this, as they won't go into the C Cup if it doesn't win. Very impressive last start, but perhaps not up to the class of these - just

Hollow Bullet hasn't done anything yet this spring but could run a cheeky race as well

Another very open race

Stix Tips
 

Early summation -

5 CONFECTIONER / 2 FIELDS OF OMAGH
10 ACTIVATION / 4 PERLIN /15 HOLLOW BULLET / 8 PLASTERED
9 LACHLAN RIVER / 11 EL SEGUNDO / 1 MUMMIFY / 3 GREYS INN
6 MOSCOW BALLET / 7 COMMAND 'N CONQUER / 12 DOURO VALLEY / 13 FREE AT LAST /
14 BAZELLE / 16 IRISH DARLING

Need some advice. Will Free AT Last qualified for CC or Mel Cup by winning the Cranbourne Cup or he still have to do well in this race?

very hard race

Confectioner ran a huge race last start
Perlin's win was good too.

there the two at this stage

What's the weather been like over there this week?

Forecast for Saturday is for showers - is this correct?

Weather
 

We had a couple of light showers yesterday

Today is fine

Tomorrow chance of showers

Saturday again chance of showers...... but I would imagine any rain we get will be minimal (But this is beautiful Melbourne town !! - if you don't like the weather wait 30 minutes..... LOL !)
