Gday All

I liked Eye Popper's chances in the Caulfield Cup.. but I am not so sure here... the jockey frightens me a bit.. ( I hadn't seen that bloke ride prior to the CC)

Anyway my pick is ..

1/11/2005 3:00 FLEMINGTON 7 23 MR CELEBRITY
1/11/2005 3:00 FLEMINGTON 7 8 XCELLENT

I have 3 of them on top together Railings being the other... so I will go for the price ( My Heart says the Diva by the way)

Good luck to all

i think everyones heart says the Diva X...mine sure does too

Yeah I would love to see her do it.. because it is something I wont see in my lifetime again... But the old head says it is too hard.... I hope I am wrong

So do i mate so do i
