Yep so pissed with myself lined my pockets last few weeks with COGH, and Moonlight Maid
I even had LG in my bet slip @ 7ās with a heavy investment after a few beers
Chose to hold fire wait until the morning and thought better of it
Got a few pre post bets going here still with LG @ 7.50 and Magic Wand EW @ 151/41 thanks to the bloke who posted it here awhile ago. Others on Homesman and Castel as well as dead money on Mohawk but still looking at a very decent return if either the first two can get up

Looks like Avilius may be out... bled from one nostril yesterday
Needs clearance to run from stewards now
Think theyāll put the pen through its name makes their job narrowing to 14 easier

Not sure how i would attack this CP yet, the shark and MJ appeal as winning chances but seem unders

It's a 1 nostril bleed, if he passes a physical (and he will) they can't rule him out.

I'll make it easy for you - MJ and the Shark aren't winning chances.

Not really - that was a complete nothing race behind her and you would be bankrput by now following horses that ran second to Winx/BC
Only having a saver as an emotional hedge because its also a Jap horse.
Last start Magic Wand ran second in a genuine Group 1 over 2000m to Magical. She beat Anthony Van Dyck, Deirdre, Headman, Madhmoon and Elarqam.
In her previous start she finished second in a Group 1 to American picket fence merchant Bricks and Mortar.
Iām finding it hard to comprehend that Mystic Journey, Avilius, Castevecchio, Kruger, Te Akau Shark, Homesman, Danceteria and Verry Ellegant are ahead of her in the market. Should be second favourite in my assessment.

True - my only point would be is that the 'genuine' G1 in Ireland was one of the weakest Irish Champions I can remember, Deidre was slaughtered, and none of the rest have done much later in the season and are not 'genuine' G1 horses.
Still should be clear second fave.

This is the list of noms the Benz is running with which mean three miss out. I've highlighted who I think the committee will toss. Personally I think Mr Q and Harlem are instant throw outs (except the latter is apparently exempt 
) - but then it gets tough. I would throw out Catslevecchio straight away but I am sure the committee will want a 3yo in there for the 'stories'. In the end I think they will throw out Dream Castle and VE- but I feel Humi/Gailo could also be in danger. Think they might survive due to their history in the race.

MrQ and VE hard to split. 3yo stayers, MrQ has run better at G1 level this prep. 108 vs 106 OHR

Harlem is ballot exempt unfortunately (Aus Cup?)
The guy from .com believes Gailo Chop won't make it as well as Dream Castle.
I'd say Castlevecchio almost guaranteed a start for the 3yo factor.
Mr Quickie surely gone
And I'd have VE gone too

Yeah my theory was that they would look at his last two starts and tell him to go to Flemington.

Unfortunately I have heard the public perception is MrQ was mega unlucky in a CC.

Same racing.com guy who seemed to have zero mail on the Caulfield Cup field this time last week?
