Raw,I really liked the way Rich Megadale hit the line last time out. This is one hell of a tough race. If only Tornado Alley had drawn better, this would have been my only selection...looks like this one is peaking right now and meets Umatrick 5kg better at the weights.Pattelo can handle the big races now, as we all know. I agree with you on Poetic Papal, a great formline coming into this. I'm just a little nervous on the 1200m, as this seems to be as far as he wants to go.

1. Rich Megadeal
2. Poetic Papal
3. Tornado Alley
4. For Valour (bit of a whisper around for this one)

I will narrow it down to two pics closer to racetime


*** If Mastermind firms in under 3's, I will probably back off. His last win at Gosford suggests he has plenty more to give
