Good on you Maxi you sounded pretty confident and got the gold or pearls gem of a ride Good stuff pretty decent odds as well

I don’t disagree with what you’ve said The majority of Cup victors have shown a decent turn of foot and that’s what I genuinely look for when selecting and settling on my 5 selections I don’t rate Surprise Baby a winning chance the odds are ridiculous Finche 4 weeks out also under the odds Steel Prince great run last start and does possess a turn off foot 2 miles maybe a ?? Right now I’m at the crossroads as which others I lock away finding it difficult Mirage Dancer like you said with Finche I reckon Mirage Dancer is better suited to the Caulfield Cup The beautiful thing Mardi people need opinions and different views so we can secure whether it’s backing or laying decent or ridiculous odds and in the case of Surprise Baby it’s ridiculous

Finche was very good again. His staying profile suggested that he may not be suited by a slower run race that required a fast sprint home and there was an element of truth to that. He couldn’t match Kings Will Dream’s turn of foot between the 400m and 150m, but he didn’t lose much ground and was very fast and strong late, recording the 2nd best rating last 200m of the entire meeting. His 101.8 rating is virtually on par with his 102 first up and we know that he’ll be better suited over further and in a race with more genuine speed. If he can progress to the 104-105 level in his lead up runs to the Melbourne Cup then he will go into that race with 54kg as a serious winning chance.

Ah ha!!! You’re not really maximus You’re Maxwell Smart No wonder you’re so protective of the Chief (Boay) Let it go Max let it go!

15 horses weighted in the Epsom with 51kgs or less I wouldn’t imagine too many jockeys walking that light these days Brenton Avdullah was walking 57.5 kgs on Sunday and rides Gem Song at 52 Metrop draw has just taken place Patrick Erin is in the field gate 12 Sir Charles Road gate 9

Just watched live barrier draw for the Epsom Te Akau Shark draws gate 16

By design or coincidence 🤔 situated on Queen St lol

Yeah he was pretty upset last night, we were probably going to the GF had they won provided we got a couple of tickets a lot closer than I thought it would be....ah well Roosters Raiders should be a cracker... let’s say it should be Dynamite 🧨 lol

Well done Dynamite commiserations Toofast good to see you guys take a well deserved 2 points also

Yeah Il Paradiso a bit of class on his side A shame Buckhurst isn’t coming I was in search for that next Rekindling Cross Counter type he wasn’t far behind those two on time form ratings I think he had a time form rating of 117 for his last two starts.........taking a line through last start I guess it’s a shame Norway 🇳🇴 isn’t coming either probably order of entry was the telling factor Buckhurst was never a serious betting proposition until he moved into quarantine ah well next year!!!

I think they’re going to give Buckhurst another 12 months like they did with Latrobe He’s done well in his first prep I’m sure he will be high up on my list next year No Kew Gardens either it’s going to be an interesting next 4-5 weeks Ten Sovereign’s has a travel companion called National Guard Outside of the Cup this horse called Royal Meeting looks promising

Pretty happy I have him locked and loaded Going of his trials and first up run I had Finche ready to win 3rd up, the fact he won 2nd Up was not surprising as he looked to map beautifully and the field was nothing special his fitness will come on tremendously, he doesn’t possess that turn off foot the real superstars seem to have, but like you say is very dour and will be much better suited to the 2 mile I would like to see them bypass the Metrop straight into the Caulfield Cup this IMO will top him off just nicely for the Cup he can then go into the Cup primed 4th up I haven’t settled on my other selections yet I need to see them on the plane how they traveled and how their work is at Werribee, last year Magic Circle’s work was awful and he ran accordingly on track conditions that were ordered to suit Mirage Dancer still great odds I just need to start doing some You Tube work now on videos on various runners Mr Quickie rated very well on his return he’s a progressive type that puts him well within reach and a serious Caulfield Cup contender The Cox Plate finding this a difficult race to assess at present Avilius he’s best suited to a Cox Plate unlikely Melbourne Cup runner Like you said Aiden O’Brien who gets the spots on the plane?????

Comedy King

That would be Oompala

That’s Almaarad beating Stylish Century in the 1989 Cox Plate
