It's a weird race. Mr Magoo is a chance at his best, but was in market last start and was disappointing. I have always been of the opinion that he is best at Flemington where he can wind up. I think Jar Jar Binks is no good and doesn't go the Melbourne way, I have Cannyopera very short and it will be my biggest go of the day. I am very keen on it. I don't think it's definitely going to win, but I am very keen on the value it will be. I think my price is right, I think if this race were run 100 times today it would win 35 or so, and so the odds it will be will be great overs. Hardy Steele is strong but I think it has a tough ask today from the gate with the possibilty of a leaders track or a front runners track with the rail true.

Duritz.
