Forget all that rubbish about Eye Popper being well weighted. Those runs in Japan were well below Makybe Diva's best. She's back on her home turf now.

The reason she gives Eye Popper weight is simple - she's won 6 group one races; Eye Popper hasn't won any.

Eye Popper is hopelessly weighted coming in on 54kgs - compare Railings, who is a lightly raced improver and winner of two group 1 races, and meeting Eye Popper on level terms tomorrow.

People are going mad potting Makybe Diva because of the good track and the weight. She's runs just fine on a good track, having won both Sydney and Melbourne Cups on good-rated surfaces. As for the weight, she's earned it.

The other chances are Leica Falcon (who ran the fastest final sectional in the Caulfield Cup), Railings, Mr Celebrity (who is bred to stay all day and certainly has beaten the handicapper - easily the best-weighted runner) and Dizelle (who will hit her peak tomorrow).

My numbers: 22 from 7, 23, 1 and 12.
