Some interesting gear changes for the Cup

Green Moon – Blinkers first time
Fiorente - Lugging Bit first time,,Standard Bit off first time
Mourayan - Blinkers off again
Tres Blue - Tongue Control & Lugging Bit first time,,Tongue Tie off first time

Haven't been here for 12 months and haven't had much of a bet in that time really mostly due to work simply don't like betting on something I can't watch. This is the toughest edition of this race I have ever seen very few in the race that you can put a line through.

I am going to go with these

1. #5 Brown Panther
2. #4 Sea Moon
3. #12 Seville
4. #17 Voleuse De Couers
5. #14 Masked Marvel

I do like Brown Panther a lot if he can repeat his effort at goodwood then he is a huge shot to win this race I backed him at $41 a couple of weeks ago so I am happy where I am there. Lloyd has a huge shot to win this race Mourayan is probably the only one he has you would have a tough time making a case for if they run this race along at a real good tempo then Masked Marvel will be right there in the finish as will Sea Moon.

Other I like on the day
MR 2: #6 Endless Shadow
MR 4: #4 She's Clean
MR 10: #2 Felidea

good luck on the punt guys you will need it

Looking at our tipping comp for today, I think the only horse not tipped in this race is Mourayan!
So got to have a little both totes

Well, that "system" didn't work too well

Got just on 12 months to work on another
