There's always a bolter in the placings, so with that in mind I've narrowed it down only a little so far....
Selection
Makybe Diva
Media Puzzle
Mummify
Mamool
Grey Song
Don Raphael
Vinnie Roe
Makybe Diva trained to perfection to take it out back to back.
Media Puzzle capable of return to pinch it, but it worries me that there has been no start in Australia as a lead-up run.
Mummify, you just can't leave it out on past form.
Grey Song a good horse but foes find it difficult to win the big ones, will either run a place or stone motherless. Has disappointed me before.
Don Raphael, very good run last start and could be the up and comer.
Mamool...this is the surprise package. Ran a shocker last start overseas, but is a class performer. Ran last in the 2003 Cup, but Godolphin's best chance to take one out.
If it rains Mamool will be a real threat, if it doesn't he can sneek a place.
***If it rains and the track is worse than GOOD, Vinnie Roe will win by 2 lengths.***
Strasbourg should be 500/1 and Elvstroem won't run a place.
My strategy
I'll be dutching the 7 horses to win.
I'll box them in a quinella.
I'll take running doubles as Cup doubles into the next race pay a motza if you get it.
Good Luck all.
