I agree entirely about the OS horses, I wish they would stay right away from a punting perspective. However there have been a lot of them here now and a lot of them with big booms on them but only one has won anything. History is starting to tell us we are fairly safe to dismiss them.
I wouldn't be so sure about Northerly, how did he pull up after that gallop.
No doubt that earlier plunge on him in the Caulfield Cup was stable inspired, then he goes like a crab, albiet winning, to his great credit at Caulfield and then plans are all up in the air.
