Cross Counter won the Gordon Stakes last year, keen to see how Spanish Mission goes tonight against O’brien.

Hopefully runs well but not too well to crunch it’s price in
Still unknown to most punters let’s keep it that way
 
Should have won for mine

Yup - almost perfect (except I backed it last night). Wins that on a flat track I think but in missing out last night hopefully gets a kilo less

Owner wants to win the cup, convincing the trainer to bring him down is an issue (and not change his mind).

Have requested odds with Ladbrokes
Have a boost available so hoping they put something juicy up and will snap it up

Good luck with that - e.g. they’ve got Mugatoo $41, it’s ten times the price on betfair. 365/sportsbet/BetEasy/ have Spanish $26 - reckon you’re more than likely not going to get that price when they put it up. I got $51 on the fair (sorry Paris..), still $40 available there. Nice odds if it comes, probably those to actually come.

Let’s hope it comes. Donation otherwise.

Didn’t realise that Rostropovich had transferred to Hayes x2 and Tabernig

Chances?
Ran ok last year

Change of trainer has to be worth about 10-15 lengths...on the negative side

If you don't win it the first time...etc etc

Was my thoughts too
H,H&T not the best choice for staying types these days...

Fiorente only one really who bucked that trend

Mirage Dancer on its way, will do Caulfield Cup as well after being sold to Aus connections
Im always wary of these horses "being sold to Australian connections". To me its like, there's a sucker born every minute. Besides Lloyds horses ( and he has the cash to buy the good ones) and Fiorente has there been any semi decent one?

the GOAT won back in 2014 after being sold to aus connections.
 
It's the training not the ownership that matters - this one sounds like it will be here more than early enough for Trent and Natalie to butcher it.

Basically if they start here in Australia for a local trainer before either Cup they normally don't go any good.

Zzzzzz profiling.

bring back the old "they can't win it without a start here first"

By all means feel free to keep backing imported stayers at poison unders that go backwards 15 lengths when switched from their trainers then :thumbsu:

If you aren't using profiling when it comes to the major Cups you are just burning money - you see it on here every year time and time again.

“The profile” changes every year or few. It’s better to find the next profile than the last one.
