1 DESERT WAR
7 DRACS BACK
2 GRAND ZULU
3 LACHLAN RIVER
4 COALESCE

Looking at the runs of Reigning To Win, it seems to me that this horse always finds enough to get over the line in the nick of time....it happens too often to be coincidence....I reckon it has the racing game figured out and knows exactly where the line is and wants to win.
I don't know if it is intelligence or a particularly strong herding gene but either way it is a fierce competitor and wants to win.
It is going to have to cover another 400 metres and that's a hell of a distance, but does anyone else think it will get there?
I am far less knowledgable than everyone else on the forum so I rarely post, and don't mind being proven wrong. I have a lot to learn but value imput from more experienced punters.
I have
1 Desert War
4 Coalesce
11 RTW
4 Dracs Back

10. Gold Edition
3. Malcolm
1. Takeover Target
2. Mitanni
6. Royal Ida

Looks a no betting race to me. Ollie should rate Desert War to perfection up front in what shoud turn out a very easy win. Grand Zulu to place.
