new to the forum,so here goes. PURDE, 80-1 tab fixed odds. only about 50th in order of entry but i reckon it is a great each way chance if it gets a run.Great run last week in the Winning Edge behind stablemate Growl.

The enzedders Pentane & Zabeat!

The Japanese pair Pop Rock & Delta Blues are reportedly the best to come down to Oz from that country. Have been set for the big one with both racing today in Caulfield Cup as a lead-up race. I've already backed them both for the MC just in case either do well today (and the odds come in).

Glad I got in when I did! Pop Rock has firmed from 25/1 to 6/1 & Delta Blues from 40/1 to 7/1!

Had them both ew yesterday - $32.50 for the place Delta Blues! thank you very much

Delta Blues (3rd) didn't sprint with them when the runs started to come just before the turn but got going again & he went home well - it was a great Melbourne Cup run! Pop Rock (7th) didn't look to handle Caulfield all that well & will be better off at Flemington. Bring on the big one!!

I just backed Activation ($5.00) and On A Jeune ($5.50) for the place on betfair, pretty good value i think. i also like Lad of the Manor $11.50 is nice in the cox plate

i've just had a look at the cc a few times and Pop Rock's run was very very good...i think it will really be suited by the 2 miles at Flemington and have taken $11.00 about it...delta blues at 12s looks ok too

im sticking with our smoking joe and doing a rain dance from now till the race jumps :P
might have the $20 ive bet with a bloke at work that osj will beat sphenophyta in the mc, on the new odds being offered. (sphenophyta wont run, its been sent for a spell for those that dont know)

Didn't realise you had a follow-up post Horse Mad. Bring on the big one indeed! 40/1 & 25/1 you lucky b u g g e r!!

The spoils of early betting..you can be lucky...good onya Horse Mad...only bet for me Pop Rock..almost....
