Sorry, have to go to work so don't have time to post field, thanks to RJ or Paddy if can do. Well I've backed the horse every start so I'm not tempting fate now by changing. The weight is of course the worry, but has carried heavy weight before, and has been helped by the barrier draw. Many chances in the race. Settled on the following selections.

This Manshood (concerns are weight and having 8th run in, but I think still good enough to take this, should get good spot just behind leaders and peel out on turn)

Regent Street (5.5kg turnaround on TM, has won 2nd up, and a good barrier trial before last start ordinary run, Gerald Ryan should have her ready to go).

Vendettas (flashed home nicely last start and might do same again to pinch it).

Britts Best (nice run on Saturday, chance at longer odds).

Rough chances to Laurinel Argie & Jade Prince, could be surprise packet. Have left out Gai's Arlington Road and will probably pay the penalty, but I'll be happy to box my five for the tri, and maybe have a very, very merry christmas.

Merry Christmas to all forum members. Have enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts throughout the year, and may the next year be prosperous and enjoyable for all.

Cheers
Cosmo
