![]() I love Who Shot Thebarman as a 3200-metre horse. His Auckland Cup win was something else and he's looking very good so far this prep. If he makes the field he'll be a nice chance.

![]() I guess Brambles is opting for the David Jones Cup on Saturday? (Don't judge me, I like him!).
Not sure who I like for the Caulfield Cup yet but for the Cox Plate am thinking The Cleaner... ![]() |

![]() Good luck, Magic man! I tossed Bande so he's got a good shot now.
![]() God help me I cannot toss Brambles so will do a win bet on him regardless of everything else. Rooting for Rising Romance and Who Shot Thebarman BUT in terms of trying to cap this? I don't think either hits the board this time. Am thinking either Big Memory or Dear Demi wins and will be using Junoob (Doug Whyte up!) and Lucia Valentina underneath. Of course there's still time... |

Even with Zac up, I'm having a hard time seeing the other Japanese runner, Admire Rakti, win this having been off since May. Confused about the status of Brambles... is he now in? Very excited to see Bel Sprinter back (obviously in the sprint). I think I'll sit that one out but I do hope he's recovered (and yes I know he won his barrier trial but it wasn't too competitive a field, was it?). I'm ignoring two horses I like very much... Moriarty (have been disappointed by him so many times now) and Gris Caro (sooo pretty). ![]() |

![]() On first look:
#11 Who Shot Thebarman: Rapidly rose through the grades in NZ and has been the Boss (pun...) since switching to Victoria. G1 and G2 winner across the Tasman so the recent grade rise isn't a worry. #4 Sea Moon: Royal Ascot winner over Dunaden and Red Cadeaux...his two best runs Down Under were at this distance and while he was one-paced in last he was first up for 7 months. Will be ridiculously huge odds. #19 Brambles: Used the winter to get back into race shape. G1 winner at 12f prior to the two years off so the class has been there. #9 Junoob is IMO better than The Offer (odds agree) and check out the jockey. Dangerous if he can find his form outside of Sydney. Seismos is a G1 winner and should sit a great trip. May not be this quality but can run a place....Lucia Valentina will be coming with her one run but will it be enough?...Rising Romance is rounding back into form and gets better with more distance...Araldo ran a good one without ever really threatening to win but can spice up the exotics again. Admire Rakti will need the run...Green Moon is way out of form...I'm not sure Bande has really beaten much...The Offer beat some weak fields back in April...Hawkspur won the G1 Queensland Derby at 12f but he got a perfect run that day and didn't beat much...Moriarty won last out but is inconsistent...Dear Demi was third last year but tough to have based on her last...distance is a concern for Stipulate...Lidari has a good record at 12f but that was against inferior (in fact, one of those runs shows on the form line of Gris Caro)...Big Memory won a G2 last time but doesn't have this type of class...Unchain My Heart and Renew don't have the quality... |
