Internationals always come over here with the hype that they are going to flog us, and that usually never eventuates, with the exception of Vintage Crop. All I can say is anyone who watched the Caulfield Cup run of Grey Song would be wise enough to have a tickle each way. While he lacks the genuine class of the raiders and our other top horses, he will run all day and has won over 2800 m. of Flemington. All I hope for is a good dousing of rain like last year, and I can see him as being one of our better hopes in the cup.
