Grand Zulu got thru the elimination by getting 3rd on Hill stakes and Testifiable got thru by winning the South Australian Derby. The best the Zipping has got was 1st on the Listed race as Hill stake is a G2 and the Derby is a G1.

My selection :
I will also take Railings, Pop Rock and Sphenophyta from Chuck's list and add in
10 ACTIVATION (Graeme Rogerson) Michael Rodd 53
13 AQUA D'AMORE (Gai Waterhouse) Stephen Baster 52
18 GROWL (David Hayes) Craig Williams 49

Just on Grand Zulu, what are peoples thoughts? He'd shown fair form (at best) but his last run in Sydney (Natures Way Hill Stakes - 1.8 length Desert War) and his Yalumba Stakes (2.3 length 5th to Casula Pass) were more encouraging runs.

He has had a few issues with respitory problems and from recent reports these appear to be in the past. Currently $34 and $9.25 with IAS.

Might see if I can recoup my (apparently lost) outlay on Zipping

Thanks

No stix it was directed at Sportz. Just meaning that zipping has missed a start and then to rub salt into the wounds, even if it did gain a start the best barrier it could jump from is 19.

How to jump from barrier 19 when there are 18 horses running?

Slight change from my selection :

Our Smoking Joe
Pop Rock
Sphenophyta
Activation
Aqua D'amore
Growl

That's how bad things have got. If it gets a run, they're not even going to allow it to start from 18. They're making it start from the car park.
