Oaks Double big chance for Caulfield success.

Having been fortunate enough to quinella the Qld oaks with Zumanity and Vouray, I think they can do it again in the Caulfield.

Have a look at the leisurely gallop oshea had Zummanity with Mertens up put in on Sat. The Yalumba will bring her 100 % to her top.

GREY SONG $67.00 / $17.50 !!

That will do me EW!!

Where can you get such odds?. Grey might not qualify anyway...

Grey Song = 23rd, very unlikely to get in the 18, might get in as an emergency.

Unlikely runners above him are
Braeloch
Hard To Get
Natural Blitz
Rinky Dink (may still run, but others almost certainly out)

Right now I am looking for a bit of value and I like the look of 2 kiwis in Vouvray and Balmuse. Vouvray first up run was sensational and she did pretty much win the QLD Oaks off of a spell so it would seem she doesnot need alot of racing to get right even at the distance. Balmuse might be the best horse we have seen from NZ since the mighty Sunline retired I have an extremely high opinion of this horse wouldn't be surprised if he runs a huge race in this.


Just out of interest does anyone know what happened to Braeloch the other day he seemed to take a very awkward step just before he shot back through the field like a cannon was just wondering if there was something wrong with the horse.
