Melbourne Cup First 4

[Better Loosen Up]

The idea for this thread is to get an idea on who everyone thinks could possibly finish in the top 4.

There may be 10 or so horses for example that you think may finish top 4 so therefore you can vote for all of them not just 4.

It will be interesting to see who is the most voted for and how close we go to picking the actual first 4.

Time to vote

Alcopop, Viewed, Roman Emporer, Master O'Reily...

Top 4.

Get on.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Are you saying that there is no other runner with even the slightest chance of finishing in the top 4?

 

[2121]

just about anythings got a chance at running top 4 in the cup really, all it takes is one bad move from one jockey that could cost halve a dozen horses a place or win.
But ill go Master o'rielly, viewed Mourilyan changingoftheguard.

not really, had a similar preparation leading up to the Auckland Cup so he could sneak in at odds. though most likely outclassed in this

I'll vote for something at decent odds, Newport.

Hasn't been running that badly, and provided he gets out of the barriers ok, should run the distance pretty well.

wouldnt mind the following boxed up
viewed/ alcopop/ shocking/ daffodil/allez wonder/ roman emporer and basaltico..

Since, I think you can only have 20 options, you are missing some horses (i.e. Leica Ding), so poll is flawed.

Yes you can only have 20 options so therefore I have made an "other" option for the remaining 5 horses who are pretty much rank outsiders anyway.

Since there have only been 4 votes for "other" thus far, I don't think it is really that flawed.

We won't get close with this pole, because all we've done is slotted in the favourites.
