Dame Claire is $31/$8.60 in the Lexus.

Was 1.2L behind Tanby in the Bart Cummings (which could easily have won) and gets a further 1.5kg swing.
Tanby is $10/$3.30.

Big overs.
 
That's a bit stiff. Would be great to see a horse win 5 Group 1's in a row.

In saying that, I will be taking advantage of DD's odds should OP put in a flat one.

Dec Draw is overrated for mine.

I'm hoping the clearly superior O Park gets out to evens with D Draw hype

Yep, underrated mare, can definitely see it running a place.

Morant in the get out stakes is another one way over the odds, steps up to 1400 after making up a stack of ground in the last furlong on Caulfield Cup Day, Williams sticking with him is a positive. 2/4 at the distance
 
Derby day fields is like a kid in a lolly shop, you're only allowed to take 9 lollies but there is about 50 good ones. :confused:

I do know I am sticking with personal faves IAD and Pampelonne for sure. Snitzerland might be time to jump off...but for who? Nechita has that turn of foot of the very good ones but there seems to be more to it this race.

Might jump aboard Zydeco for the first time....and I'm really liking Pear Tart's prep although Streama still holds a place in my heart.

Bit of a Fawkner fan, but he's probably short enough up in class. Agree there's some good value around - Maybe Bold Glance down from QLD with the Solzhenitsyn form? $19/5 with C'bet.
 
Struggling to look past Gatewood, Nechita and It's a Dundeel.

I can't see Nechita getting beaten, the 1400m was a huge fail she just didn't get the trip but back to 1200m she will show her class. I'm thinking Soft Sand, December Draw & Costa Nova in the other Group 1's. I was pretty keen last start Costa Nova would run a good race at big odds and did give some cheek, but they just went too hard in front and he did a stack of work to get there as well. He did hit the front at about the 300m and gave a bit of a kick but all the work he did caught up with him and he started to fade before nearly being put over the fence at the 100m, the margin was unfair to him in the end. This race can throw up a surprise so I see no harm in backing one at $80+, if he can sit a couple back with a bit of cover one out then you never know.

Not much went right during the Golden Rose for her. Injured in the run and was a victim of the suicidal pace set at her first run past 1200 (last and second last on the turn ended up running the quinella).

Back to 1200 and freshened up will mean that she will be able to fully utilise that turn of foot and leave them for dead.

Been following the Ellerton stable since Jesus was a boy but can't work out what you see in Costa Nova, B-grader if I ever saw one. Having said that I won't be too unhappy if it gets up:p

Lunar Rise for me in the first.
 
I don't think Costa is worth using the double odds on but maybe 1 x 4 @80/1 is worth a look. $5+ will be available on IAD and that's awfully hard to ignore on the DFO but it's still up in the air. I was more than impressed with Super Cool so that's an option too.

One of your faves in Lady Antebellum running in Race 8 at MV tonight. Looks well suited mate.
 
Rail is out 5m tonight, so I'd be a bit cautious on back markers. Right in it if the track plays fairly, Florets a good chance too.

Worried with Wallace on board Florets Roost. Doesn't get it right too often.

He'll either lead or get a nice 1x1 trail, so not too worried.

Well I wasn't until you posted :confused:
 
Does the winner of the Lexus (G3) go straight through to the Melb Cup? Or does it just receive a weight penalty?

1 from 45 in the city this season and 1 from 23 on horses under $10 on the market.
