Folks, I reckon Profound Beuty's well under a decent quote ($8) I might have backed her if she was around 10/11 but I just think 8 is too short.

ZIPPING is my pick. He can run the distance quite well, he has proved it. I like a good horse thats under the radar.

So many good horses its hard to pick.

Everyone just list one horse and we can see which on average we think will win, might help some peoples tips.

still cant believe the odds for Profound Beauty. Glenn Boss didnt sound overly confident and hes not one of those jockeys to play down his chances - look how highly he talked up Samantha Miss in the cox plate. Maybe a little too immature even though shes well weighted. These danehill's just dont seem to be able to finish off the 3200 - look no further than Zipping.

Mine:

1st: Honolulu
2nd: Cest La Guerre

Gone with some value!

1st. Nom De Jeu, if it gets out l think it will be extremely hard to beat. It's run was every bit as good, if not better than Mad Rush's in the CC and you can't beat the value 9.00 compared to 5.00.

2nd. Littorio who l think will appreciate running back under handicap conditions.

3rd. Bauer, huge run in the Geelong Cup and we all know the form often stacks up from that race. Media Puzzle and On A Juene are a couple from memory that won and ran second after the Geelong Cup.

Next Best, Cest Le Guerre, Zipping.

Ive put all my money on Moatize had a great run saturday and i think could prove a very serious contender in the race and at $41/$1 i couldnt pass up a bet :)
