I do hope Mr Sandgroper can win so he can be set for the Adelaide Cup, and then hopefully the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups there after.

I'm taking Marasco on, I think the 59 is too much. Class might see him through though.

I am going for City of Ruins, to ruin the day for Marasco.

That's is...

Race 3 Number 1 Mr Sandgroper
Race 4 Number 2 City Of Ruins

(3) Maxximus Dignitas

I guess that's the end of Mr Sandgropers dreams =(

1st 3 MAXXIMUS DIGNITAS $5.60 $1.70

Hi Neiltown Nice get Stark Smith!

Greg Childs has been named Marasco's rider for his Victorian Autumn campaign after Damien Oliver turned down the ride to continue his partnership with El Segundo.

Childs may also partner Kersley's 2YO filly Jestatune in the $250K BMW Magic Millions Perth 2yo Classic on 14 February.

Sounds like Damien was as impressed (not) as I was with Marasco's run on the weekend. Will need to improve heaps to be competitive in the east!
