[__Ron_]

Black Tom - Hayes likes him, about the only positive thing i can say about him.

 

[hey shorty]

Would need it to bucket down to even make the top 15. Nope.

 

[Ron]

If the race was at Ascot then maybe, but down here not a chance.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Match race with Railings.
Who do you want to back?

 

[Angus1]

BLACK TOM
Won a Perth Cup but I don't think he has done much else.

 

[Ted]

Fair call, but have a look at it's current form...

Just ran 29th in a 33 horse field!

 

[thecarpetsnake]

You can't deny that Zipping finished impressively last start. Great run last year too, but didn't totally stay 3200.
I'd want to be on a more proven winner. Just get the impression we could be hearing all about another hard luck story come tomorrow arvo.

A chance, but not my pick

11.MASTER O'REILLY $5.5 TO $5 $100,000

Move on

 

[YOTC]

Serious Horse here. I'm on him in everything. Explination not neccessary.

 

[Lockyer24]

Black Tom - Not good enough, there for the prestige only

 

[slushpup]

I think this or Eskimo will win. I just can't seem to find a fault with his form at all.

 

[Ted]

Black Tom - Hayes likes him, about the only positive thing i can say about him.

Hayes doesn't even like him - owners are running him against trainer's advice.

 

[__Ron_]

Master O'Reilly - Best stayer since Carbine and Phar Lap. Won the Caulfield Cup doing cartwheels. Wanted more reign so he could do another lap or 3. Will win.

 

[hey shorty]

Vlad is EXTREMELY confident about MOR's chances. Something is putting me off backing it for the win but I cant quite figure out what that is. Will be there at the end absolutely no doubt.

More overrated than Haradsun, and thats saying something.
Won a Caulfield cup against the worst field ever assembled, and that was before the two faves were scratched.

 

[Lockyer24]

Master O'Reilly - He keeps improving and Im of the opinion he will relish the extra distance. Said he was the only one with the heart to run down Maldy in the CC, he didnt need to, but he gave the rest a fair old spanking. You simply have to back him, with perhaps one you like at odds EW.

 

[Angus1]

11.MASTER O'REILLY
He ticks nearly all the boxes for mine.
Great form. Rain shouldn't bother him.
Outstanding win in Caulfield Cup which was the 3rd fastest ever time.
I'm on him for plenty.

11.MASTER O'REILLY $5.5 TO $5 $100,000

Trainer confident, jockey confident, money for him = YES.

Brilliant Caulfield Cup run - would have won by more if the race went longer.

Only needs luck in running to prove he is the best stayer in Australia.

I have never felt so confident backing a horse in the Melbourne Cup.

12.PURPLE MOON $10 TO WIN $500,000

Looks to be on the improve & CC run was good enough

seth

 

[Cousin Jed]

Master O'Reilly. Beaten nothing, over-rated horse, unless TVN plug the barriers again so the other favourites get scratched, won't win.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Horse to beat.
Caulfield Cup is the form to follow again.
Looked great in winning although it all fell into place for him on the day.
An O'Reilly winning the Cup, I question.
Prepared to take him on, just because I think he is a little unders.

Would love to see Vlad win it though.

 

[Ron]

Master O'Reilly - Best stayer since Carbine and Phar Lap. Won the Caulfield Cup doing cartwheels. Wanted more reign so he could do another lap or 3. Will win.

You're an idiot.
Wouldn't be in the best five stayers of the last 10 years.
