If Efficient gets a barrier from 5-15 I'll be backing him most probably.
If he doesn't get that ideal barrier, and Mad Rush does, I'll probably go Mad Rush.
I'm staying right away from Septimus no matter how good he is overseas, haven't seen him race over here and I've got a suspicion that he might do another Yeats like run.

I'll be on the two most under rated horses in the race, Nom De Jeu and Gallopin. Just need good barriers now...

i haven't watched much racing in the last 24 months due to being overseas but seeing nom du jeau come home the way it did in the caulfield cup it MUST be looked at.
i will have a look over his/her (hmmm, that isn't much racing for me obviousbly) form and if i'm happy ill most likely be on it....

Profound Beauty - over the set back, worked very impressively on the weekend, has Boss on board with no weight, Weld thinks she's good enough and that's good enough for me
Viewed is also underrated IMO, Caulfield Cup run was good considering the poor lead up it had going into it and if it rains it'll come into it even more.
Probably will take the early odds on Viewed for a little and wait till the barrier draw to decide other bets.

I have no idea why Septimus has so much money coming for it - 58.5 kilos is an awful lot of weight to carry. I saw it in the Irish St Leger against a nothing field. Something is going on though as all the money is coming for it - 6.50 into 4.20. Mad Rush and Efficient both wound out to 7 and 8. I suspect the money will come for Mad Rush and All the Good.
I really like Nom Du Jeu's run in the Caulfield Cup and it seems quite a few did. I have a $50 free bet and I think I'll lose it on him.

What about a Baughurst, Gallopin, Barbaricus trifecta. That would have to pay well in excess of $10K if it came in.

Want a Danny O'Brien horse to win but i'd say All The Good is the horse to beat without knowing the internationals.

NDJ looks like a nice place chance and if given the right run could even win.
Gallopin looked to be battling to the line on the weekend. The horse will come up a lot in grade from that run, a lot more classier horses in this race and I can't see the horse getting in the top 5 to be honest, top 10 most probably.
No Australian horse can win this year, as hard as that was for me to type the poms and kiwis have us covered, they are just better horses full stop.
Steering away from fav as of 58.5......
honolulu was a great win last startand only has 54 and that other one alesandro volta or whatever has about 50.5...
cant see obrien losing this year......but man i would love an aussie to win...the heart says master orielly but the pocket says honolulu

I was thinking the exact same thing. a late scratching in the caufield cup then the vets saying it could of ran. By god something shifty HAS to be going on here. Not to mention David Hayes is the king of pulling this kind of cr*p. Will back it if it runs in the saab this w/e thats for sure

Saw an interview with david hayes this morning on tvn. It has a cyst or something that they are trying to draw out. He said it takes 4 - 20 days and they are up to day 9. That might be it.....

where's the master o'reilly love?
While the riding instructions are for him to be ridden back then screw him! Hows he supposed to win when he's continuously spotting the leaders 10 lengths.... and it's not like he's giving bad horses a start but he's giving our best horses a ridiculous start.... Ride him like Barbaricus was ridden last start.... at least they will never die wondering!
