Hi fellow forum members, D105Black from PNG here.

I appreciate this forum and I always follow the selections, basing most of the forum tipsters selections in my box quinella's and trifectas.

After the win by God's Own in the Guineas yesterday (remarkable given that he was floored on two occassions) I must say that most of the Stakes Races are a good pointer to some of this big spring races.

Can anyone tell me what is or are strong races leading up to the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup that most horses run in before either winning or placing in the two big Cups in Victoria around this time of the year.

When Makybe Diva won the Melbourne Cup in 2003, prior to that he had won the Geelong Cup and when I saw that run I knew she would run some race in the Melbourne Cup and for sure she did, winning off-course.
