got the first 4 with those selections in the last (out of order), but obviously didn't back it .

Mooney Valley 6:
I think ART CRITIC stands out and is good value at around $5.50. It has been racing well in the bush against older horses, and is ready to take the next step. Good jockey good barrier good chance. Other than than i think Deregulate and Follow the Rules have strong claims

I can't go past Casino Prince in the slipper he has been as good as anything leading into this race and gives the impression he will not have any problems running out a hard run 1200m I havenot wavered from him the last month or so and don't think there is any reason at all to do it now.

SLIPPPER:
Well, as said, after long thought i think (hope) i have narrowed it down to DIEGO GARCIA, KAPHERO and WONDERFUL WORLD (not in that order). Diego has done nothing wrong, and has really shone in Sydney. Kaphero was stunning in the Adelaide Magic Millions Classic and was also impressive in its two blue diamond preludes. Wonderful World has won in Sydney and at the distance, and ran a good race in the Blue Diamond, as well as looking very good when thrid to churchill down in a trial last week. Definite value in the last two

The slipper really is too hard for me... I think you can take 6 or 7 and still miss the winner,..

There are far easier races today to make a quid from.... For what it is woth this how I have em

Good win by Miss Finland!!! I've been following David Hayes all year with the 2yos and there was no reason to drop off today. Mad at myself for not including Pure Energy somewhere.

did you back miss finland?

i might have if her last run (before the slipper that is), wasn't so bad!

Next at melbourne is quite a toughie;

Mooney Valley 7:
In this i like MR MURPHY, ALI BENBARA and King Johannes in a difficult one. Mr Murphy, despite going up in weight, has been going steadily against top quality horses in group races. Class runner in field, but weight and barrier may be problems. Ali Benbara bolted home last start and the distance suits. good jock and barrier, and has a nice weight. Lastly, King Johannes has been consistent and hit the line strongly at this track last start. Certainly capable.

Certainly did, Chuck.

Don't take any notice of my tips in the Group 1 comp or the Race of the day comp. (I was just covering myself with those tips) The ones I liked were the 3 horses I had in the Fantasy comp, Miss Finland, Churchill Downs and Casino Prince.

I thought Miss Finland's last run was quite good actually. It was certainly better than Churchill Downs' last run, but I thought both of them would be much more suited today. I had them rated 15,7,2,16, so that's why I'm mad at myself for not including Pure Energy amongst the placings. Oh well, never mind.

I should shut my mouth sometimes bag Childs and manages to get Pure Energy up for 2nd good run as I don't think it saw a great deal of the fence.

I like Serenote in Brissie good horse the only danger in my opinion is the fav.

After the last 2 in sydney I am on both Johan's Toy (praying it atleast gets every chance) and Legendary Man.

Yeah I took no notice of childs being aboard pure energy, she had posted some good times as well, kicking myself, had the first 5 except for her!
