I have been saying to a few mates the kiwis will win atleast one of the cups this year and I feel this is a good one to start with.

I am a massive fan of Nom Du Jeu (used to back his mother alot) but I think he has a few things against him and the barrier might not be his biggest worry, he has apparently travelled over here a bit average which is never good but he may get over that before saturday, The barrier may actually be a blessing in disguise he has run his best races when being ridden dead cold I have a feeling they didn't want to do that in NZ because the didn't want to try and outsprint Princess Coup (no disgrace there) saturday I think he goes to the back and makes one big run at them not easy to do at caulfield though. I think he runs a cracking cup trial and finishes close to the place getters if not in them.

Red Ruler is the one for me has been for a couple of weeks now he is weighted well on his NZ form has more of a turn of foot than Nom Du Jeu and barrier 1 probably gives him the chance to settle about mid field on the fence where Corey Brown can then just bide his time and give him one final crack at them up front late alot of caulfield cups are won by horses just getting there the last 50 metres and I can see this bloke getting that run here.

others I like are Littorio, Boundless, Zagreb, Guillotine and maybe Ice Chariot
