The more I look at the race, the more confused I get. So, lets go for a bit of value, both totes. Proisir, Shoot Out & Sincero.

Anyone else notice horses in wide barriers winning most of the races today at MV. I wonder if this bodes well or bad for Pierro and Prosior.

I don't think Gai thinks More Joyous can win this race. I don't even have it in the top 4 for this race.

Based on the way races are runing today my new top 8 are :

Pierro
Proisir
Green Moon
Ocean Park
Shoot Out
More Joyous
All Too Hard
Ethopia

Gai chose an outside barrier for MJ to avoid any early scrimages. Wonder if she anticipated the outside bias.

The bias wil have little to do with the outcome of this race the speed it is run at will determine it forget everything else. if they walk the 3yo's and More Joyous's chances improve dramatically if they really turn the pressure on then I doubt any of those 4 will be seen in the finish I could be wrong though.

Whats your thoughts on the pace then ? Are they going to race hard up front?

You would expect a truly run race, pace to burn when you analyse normal racing styles

Would love to know how the Gai Waterhouse trio will be ridden
If 'as per normal' they could worry each other out of contention

I've been viewing the videos and I have to say I think its a race between 2 horses now.

Ocean Park and Green Moon.

My top 8 are now :

Green Moon
Ocean Park
Proisir
Pierro
Shoot Out
More Joyous
All Too Hard
Ethopia

9 Ocean Park
4 Green Moon
12 Pierro
13 All Too Hard
14 Proisir
