I always thought the type of grouping is based on the price money. 500K consider group 1....

Can any of your great punter advice how the normal racing partern in Randwick were?. Does the track favour front runner or meddle or back in big races and at a mile or 1.5miles.

How is the track condition as of today at Randwick and Flemington.

What is the weather forecast?

Not sure what the track is in Sydney, but it's been raining there today. Not looking all that good.

As for Melbourne, it should be a good track there but this meeting in previous years has sometimes favoured leaders as they put the rail out 9m.

By the way, Battle Maiden is an early scratching from the Epsom.

You know what I find funny is that a month or so ago alot of people would have been tipping Binding to win the Epsom now I doubt there will even be alot of people who do probably get proven wrong just funny how he has sort of come in the backdoor for the Epsom now. I know he is at 9-1 at the moment but noone is mentioning this horse when he would have been at best half that price before if not a pronounced favourite who looked unbeatable.

Manton (Hotel Grand)
Stormhill (Men at Work)
Binding (Desert War)
Mnemosyne (Media)
Shinzig (Xellent)

Thanks raw..getting in early as i'm not sure i'll get on tomorrow....
