Prices steadily getting squeezed. Still a little bit of 25-1 on Raymond Tusk. May not quite have the class though several Group placings and does tend to find trouble in running a little too often for my liking but it's a really eye-catching run in the Ebor (steady Paris, steady) last time - worth a look if you haven't seen it already (last turning for home in the light blue). I'm not totally in the too much weight camp for Cross Counter just yet - though perhaps more a place than a win bet. Still just shading Marmelo but things will start to take shape soon enough.
Apparently Mer De Glace’s primary target is the Melbourne Cup. He needs to finish in the top 8 of the Caulfield Cup to meet the qualifying condition. Unproven at the MC trip but a genuine contender.

Will get to see him run at Caulfield anyway - I won't be stepping into it before that.

Surprise Baby would want to be going full Almandin on the Bart Cummings field if it is any chance of doing anything in the big one - legit up against a field of horses who would be 500/1 in a Melbourne Cup
25% of Mustajeer up for grabs after connections checked Lees cups records out.
Bart Cummings can’t get a full field, yet there’s continual whining about the cup being full of internationals.

Only nuffies complain mate, if you want to to watch lesser types owned/bred local tune into kalgoorlie today. Otherwise....
Great to have a race on the card with a completely different dynamic.

Wasn’t the main gripe overseas could win a 4 horse group 2/3 at Curragh or Germany and be guaranteed a start yet win a G1, G2 in Aus (with larger field sizes) and not be guaranteed a start.

South Australian derby winner Qafila. Currently 25th Ooe. Mr Quickie 23rd Ooe.
Master of Reality is 8th in in order for winning a group 3.
I was merely pointing out the argument local trainers had.

You also failed to mention Master of Reality was placed in the Gold Cup ffs - I'd expect the top 8 in the Gold Cup to get in over an SA Derby winner

Well played you sneaky devil.
But is it fair to deny European G3 performers (all at WFA) over a length win over Wall of Fire in a Herbert Power carrying 53

I don’t know the best answer to that question because I understand where you’re coming from. I was simply mentioning the gripe Australian trainers had. Are they correct? Maybe yes and also maybe no.

And as FF highlighted - why didn't they contest the Bart Cummings
Andrew Gibbons helped erase any doubt that Attention Run will get 3200m. He ran it beautifully in the Metrop there sitting 3 wide the trip.

Will absolutely drift you’d think - there’s always massive overreaction after a ‘Cup trial’

So with Surprise Baby crunching in today after Bart Cummings
Market looks a little different
(Took 51’s on Surprise Baby a while back so glad it’s qualified- didn’t expect it to)
Poison at top of market
Surprise Baby at 9’s and Finche 12’s
Best priced at the moment not too sure
As it stands I’ve placed bets on:
Spanish Mission -
Surprise Baby
Raheen House
Twilight Payment
Raymond Tusk
Southern France
Ispolini
Downdraft

Not too dissimilar to you:
Spanish
Constantinople
Southern France
Raheen
R Tusk
Twilight
Probably the least I’ve had going at this point in time for a few years.
I can’t buy into the top 4 in the market.
