I can't have a bet in it. The heart will be pumping for the owner of that $1m bet when Lonhro stakes his claim down the straight.

LOHNRO to beat
PENTASTIC or
MAKYBE DIVA

I've long been in the Lonhro sceptic camp, he has proven very vulnerable when the pressure is really on, however hard to beat here.
Mummify has the class but is a Flemington worry and Lonhro has proven his superior at wfa. Sound Action has been gallant but beaten fair and square easily by Lonhro and hard to see any or enough improvement in her.
Makybe Diva caused excitement last start but it was behind two ordinary ones and need to be convinced at wfa yet.
Elvstroem is interesting, looked a chance to be something in the spring and is just warming up now and has the Oliver factor.
Hard to see Lonhro not running 1/2 and I think I will back him and save on Elvstroem/Lonhro and Mummify/Lonhro exactas.

Good luck all.

Lonhro is at his max this distance and depending on the pace might be found out in this unless he gets it all his own way.

PENTASTIC for me at this track and distance with Lonhro and Makybe Diva for a boxed Quin. and Tri.

Cheers.

No-bet race for me as well - as the price suggests, LONHRO should win.

i hope mummify and makybe diva (possibly both at the lead ) keep the pressure on lonhro and keep him honest
my pick is #9 sound action

Lonhro will have to work for hard but should get there...Sound Action, Elvstroem, Maykbe Diva for the F4, might even box these four for the Q. Good luck and wise punting today!

Just had a look at the prices, Lonhro $1.80 fixed odds, that will do me, TAB $1.50 stingy ......s

WELL? what more can we say.....do we say he is a champ after that....what more does he have to do

Yeah, not a bad effort that. :smile:
