Thought I’d start a thread for those interested in posting their thoughts / selections for LISTED races as opposed to GROUP races which are well and truly being covered on an ongoing basis by other threads.

Can't go past DOUBLOON. Looks better than these. Came home strongly from a long way back first-up at Randwick (1200m). Proven second-up (2:1-1-0).

Odysseus at the price on offer looks great value. The top 2 in betting Ista Kareem and Zingo look the main dangers. Jeunify and Our Chosen One not without a chance.
