As always in the week leading up to the race you hear the whispers....

I have just got off phone with a close mate of mine who does a bit of fill in work during the spring carnival for some trainers, all he could talk about was Marasco, and how well he handled the valley at his gallop and how impressed Kersley is with him. He promised the info was straight from the strapper and they are quietly confident of a big, big showing.

I may have a little on him, but will definately be putting him in my multiples.
