Princess Coup / Zipping - take your pick


.

Interesting method of doing the barrier draw this year, horses were drawn in random order, and then the owners picked the barrier they wanted

Princess Coup / Maldivian, be interesting to see if the odds have come in a little with Malds decent draw...

Yep. Think that's going to become a more regular thing in future.

When you think of it, with the other way of doing it, you have to be lucky twice. I mean, the horse drawn out first can end up with a barrier that the connections hate. With this way, you only have to be lucky once. They just draw out the number of the horse and then the rest is up to the owner / trainer.

By the way, who got drawn out first? Do you know?

C'est La Guerre was drawn first from memory

Zipping/Alamosa for a bit of value.

I'm having problems splitting those two.

Think they'll just grab Maldivian, depending on how much pressure Theseo puts on up front.

If ever there was a year where the rank outsider of the field could get up, surely this'd be it.

Samantha Miss?

Don't think she's the outsider of the field?
