Melb Cup tips!

[tarky]

i'll go..

1. honolulu
2. all the good
3. zipping
4. barbaricus

 

[warney7]

I'm warming to Nom de Jeu and I'm probably liking it more than Mad Rush now.

Zipping I think is a horse that I could seeing running a place, but not winning.

I think 58.5 is a lot of weight to be carrying for 3200m and I don't think there's a great history of top weights winning the Melbourne cup.

EDIT: I just saw the 08 St Leger on youtube. Septimus won by a long way, but that race is nothing like the Melbourne cup. People can jump on Septimus all they like!

Not sure why Volta didn't make the poll, I still think that Honolulu and Profound Beauty should feature.

gr8888888 there goes my 92 bux worth of bets on effecient... guessin luxbet dont refund lol... grhhhh

 

[Colin D'Cops]

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.

Looks like the decision has been made for me. Mad Rush all the way!

 

[Goal Square]

Ice Chariot is goin along nicely in my opinion. I'll be including it in my exotics. Still don't know who to get on the nose!! I love this race.

 

[BunnyMoto]

Littorio for mine. Backed him today before he (hopefully) runs a big race on Saturday

I got this from another site. Its the past winners and times of the Irish Leger, that septimus won by 13 lengths. take from it what you will


2002 Vinnie Roe 4 Pat Smullen Dermot Weld Seamus Sheridan 2:59.00
2003 Vinnie Roe 5 Pat Smullen Dermot Weld Seamus Sheridan 2:58.90
2004 Vinnie Roe 6 Pat Smullen Dermot Weld Seamus Sheridan 3:03.90
2005 Collier Hill 7 Dean McKeown Alan Swinbank R. Hall & A. Young 3:01.20
2006 Kastoria 5 Michael Kinane John Oxx HH Aga Khan IV 3:01.00
2007 Yeats 6 Kieren Fallon Aidan O'Brien S. Magnier & D. Nagle 3:03.40
2008 Septimus 5 Seamus Heffernan Aidan O'Brien Derrick Smith 3:11.97

 

[Mordecai]

Our 2 mile race is run requiring a turn of speed at the end. Often the races are run that way... with pacemakers and Septimus having a second gear as a stayer who knows.

That is still pretty damning.

Consider it taken on board. Fantastic piece of information there.

 

[haywood jablome]

What were the track conditions for those previous runs? surely it's important if you are going to look at times.

 

[Amber72]

LOL i just like the name so i voted for Master O' Riley XD plus he is a really nice looking horse.

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Alot of these favorites haven't seen 3200m yet. i.e. Mad Rush and Profound Beauty. The trainers are "hoping" they run the 2 miles.

 

[Mordecai]

I'd change to Profound Beauty if I could.

 

[reeso]

On top selection: Nom Du Jeu;good each way bet stormed home in caufield cup from one of the outside barriers, formline looks ok with barbaricus running well in the mackinnon.Will appreciate some rain,good barrier and world class jockey.

Real Roughie:Newport; appreciates some rain,first run in Melbourne was sound(5th in Moonee Valley Cup) draw is average but hasnt drawn the carpark,by encosta de lago and has my favourite jockey on board, Chris Symons!!
