Grey Song for my money....will win by lengths

I had to change my original ideas.. I still like Makybe Diva, Mummifyand Hug's Dancer but i thought Bodie was still live hope for the cup it would have been my pick but I don't see it on the 2nd decs list from racing victoria..
Good Luck and Good Punting

Grey Song was arguably the run of the race in the CC, but I think Makybe Diva was the quiet achiever, and is my pick for the cup.

Cheers,
Chris.

One horse which is being forgotten byu alot of people very quickly is Honor Babe and seriously could be ridiculos odds come cup day. Don't take any notice of it's run in the Caufield Cup I gave it no hope of winning that race and here is the reason why.


It has now had 2 runs at Caufield this prep and they have both been substandard runs compared to its others at Flemington particularly. I don't think the horse can handle Caufield it is to tight of a track both of its runs have been identical there been there with a chance but just couldn't get going.


The horse likes Flemington and has rattled off some amazing sectionals there and it can run the distance all be it at a slightly lesser level if you liked this horse there is no reason not to now and at 20 or 30-1 I think there is a whole lot more to like about it.

MUMMIFY has been given a 2.5kg penalty, now to carry 55kg in the Cup.

Also FRIGHTENING penalised 1kg, now to carry 50kg in the Cup.

its equal favourite so not that quiet really.

i like mamool, makybe, maybe hugs who knows yet strasbourg i think is a dead set 2 miler so wasnt surprised with his run though would have liked him top finish closer

As for Frightening I like the horse I like wheher he is upto the Cup standard or can runout 2 miles for that matter is another thing. I also heard he would have to win the Moonee Valley Cup to Qualify it was sort of why I was looking for the order of acceptances for the cup he would need alot of luck to get in without winning the Moonee Valley Cup.
