nice field. Dont really understand how Red Hannigan and Emission get in so light at the weights. Is it just the turf club attracting Eastern states horses. Both are G1 placed and get way less than old charges Finitio and the pocket rocket Corporate Bruce.

My early tips are:

Finito
Corporate Bruce
Emission

and Hardrada.

will update closer to event after some serious form work.

Very tough race (as usual)!

(7) Emission looks the best of the visitors. Nicely weighted, nicely drawn & has the services of Damien Oliver.

(14) Modem racing in the best form of his life – nothing on his back. From a wide draw likely to get back but should be motoring home.

(3) Finito as honest as they come. Down 0.5kg on last years effort in this race, beaten only 1.25len
behind Old Fashion.

(6) Corporate Bruce, a repeat of last years run would make him awfully hard to beat. Drops 1kg on that run beaten only a neck by Old Fashion (who has gone up 1.5kg)

And I’ve left out horses like Old Fashion, Hardrada, Mapperholic & Red Hannigan – all very good chances.

Tremendous race and very hard to sort out but right now this is how i am looking


Finito: Love this old timer and there was nothing not to like about his first up effort he is as consistent as they come

Modem: Drawn out in the backrow of the grandstand but he gets back anyway will be coming home hard at the end of this one will be tough to hold out with no weight

Roman Arch: The class horse of the race just wondering how much he has taken in the trip over to the west

Track Jester: will be getting home at the end of this one but he is drawn wider than Modem but I really liked the way he hit the line last start.

I thrown barriers out the window for now might change come saturday but we'll see what happens

Just another 2 scratchings MyHatMyCoat - fingers crossed.

Do like Modem (14), as pointed out by Paddy, racing in peak form.

Harvey's sticking to Mapperholic (10), so that's my 2nd choice.

One of my favourites Tribula (4), to run a bold race.

For value I'm sticking with Kensyl Bay (18), who is now assured a start.

In the other Group race (WA Champion Fillies Stakes), I'm going for All Keyed Up (4), Belhari (3) & Detail (2). And for value..........wait for it fellas.....Super Women (15) what else! :smile:
