Default Any Dark Horses for the Cups??

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone had any dark horses for the Big Cups?

Caulfield Cup

I still like Vigor for the Caulfield Cup. Got buffeted against the rails early in the race on Saturday, so forgive and it's previous runs this campaign have been outstanding. 51 kilo's looks luxurious.

Speed Gifted was obviously impressive on Saturday, doubt the opposition a bit but hands and heels all the way, you can't do much more.

Roman Emporer could be a smoky. Loved his run in the Derby in the Autumn when he beat Predatory Pricer and he has the GENIUS trainer in B. Cummings. Currently $26 fixed odds.


Melbourne Cup

Efficient was too impressive to ignore on Saturday but I'll wait till the spring pans out a bit for the Cup.


Cox Plate

I like Maldivian and Trusting.

Stayer to follow for the lesser staying races - DANDAAD. Didn't seem to do much in the Autumn in Sydney. Wondering if he's a Melbourne/Spring Horse. Has the Cummings polish and could pick up a listed/Group 3 type event.


Just thought I might incite a little healthy conversation to nut out the winners of the big races this spring.

Have a b-u-diful day.
