Gday All...

Sticking my neck out here so it will probably get chopped. Ah well thats racing tho..

I think Starcraft is over rated and consequently over bet. It may well win the Plate but not with my money. When Elegant Fashion was running around here I made nice money on her, and I see no need to jump off. I would have thought Elvis was a special but for the going back in distance. Gai has done the right thing with Grand Armee and kept a low profile. As another poster mentioned Our Egyptian Raine hsn't been mentioned, she won well last week and is a good chance a place. The unkown is Paolini. Summing up I like:

10 Elegant Fashion
6 Elvstroem
11 Our Egyptian Raine
1 Grand Armee

with the rider of watch Paolini.

having said that I could very well miss the winner, it is a verey difficult race.
