My mate has two horses in it. Last years winner twilight payment and pondas. Pondas form is ordinary but a dry track will help. Twilight payment will be in the first few for most of the race so you will get a great run for your money. Incentivise and Spanish mission will obviously be hardest to beat. I’m boxing 8 in a first four. The top 4 plus Tralee rose the bottom weight grand prominarde and floating artist. Based on my punting in the last couple of weeks they will not get close.

If Cooper Sharman isn't running, I'm just not interested ...

Same. Not a huge percentage but got me out of the shit.

2 out of 3 on my box trifecta - partner very happy with $150 return on her one punt of the year.

I thought you guys would have worked out i was taking the p155 , I didn't really win , pebbles was close though
I backed Persan who had a torrid run

Watching that race was like watching "Days of Thunder " when Tom Cruise found out he could change gear and go faster than everyone else.

At least I didn’t get the first 4 in hindsight. Gave it to everyone on here stupid enough to follow me.
