OK ,time to put the old neck out and reduce this field to realistic chances
Starcraft (as mentioned above Barrier 1 could be a problem but you cant leave him out)
Grand Armee (going well)
Elvstroem(i think he has peaked and cant win)
Regal Roller (wont get the distance and will have too much pressure up front,gone at 500m)
Elegant Fashion(dont know much about this horse so it stays in)
Fields of Omagh(won a cheap race in Adelaide as a leadup,still might run a place)
Savabeel(the unknown three year old,but can he do an octagonal)
Kings Chapel (not bad run last start but cant win this)
Our Egyptian Raine (Distance ?????)
Paolini (sub standard German conveyance,wont run on)
Delzao (will go the distance and relish the conditions if the weather forecast is right)
Miss Potential (will sign a joint suicide pact with Regal roller at 500m)
Natural Blitz (hates wet tracks,should finish his career in Perth or Brisbane where the tracks are good most of the time)
So we are left with STARCRAFT,GRAND ARMEE
DELZAO ,ELEGANT FASHION and SAVABEEL
No other horse can win
I reckon the cox plate should be restricted to EIGHT horses so we get a decent race
Cheers
