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

Has the right form,only doubt is his patttern.
Serious money for him today

seth

Great win at Caulfield, but while this field is no better, a number of runners are much more primed for this race.

much to like about him, but just got the dream run in the C Cup, much like Tawqeet and we all know how that ended. Deserved favourite, but no moral. Won't have my money on him, but is a definite winning chance

 

[Lockyer24]

Purple Moon - better ride in the CC and he still would have got beaten easily. Will be leaving out of my tri's and what not.

 

[Catman]

Faultless preparation, dominant CC win, deserves favouritism. Looks like he'll run 2 miles easily. Clear top pick.

 

[slushpup]

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

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

seth

I'm leaving it out of tri's and the such. A risk i know but i just don't really like...

 

[YOTC]

The two Ronnies confusing everyone

 

[__Ron_]

Purple Moon - Severely held up in Caulfield Cup. Wasn't going to win anyway. Won't run in the first 6.

If it stays dry it'll be a chance, and Oliver seems to think it is a big hope.
Personally it might run a place but i don't think it'll win.

 

[hey shorty]

If it dries out a bit more Purple Moon will be the only horse to get near MOR. Olly is a magician and with a bit more luck would have placed in the CC. My pick for tomorrow.

 

[YOTC]

Will do nothing. Will need the Oly factor to get into the top 5.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

My clear top pick. The Pop Rock of 2007.
Sirmione on Saturday only enhanced this. This horse sat wider than Sirmione in the CC yet just kept coming, despite checks & his last 200 was unbelieveable. They had to replace McEvoy he slaughtered it.

If Olly can get him 1 of the fence watch out.
I think a few here need to watch the CC again.
I have about 20 times, & keep coming up with this conclusion.

seth

Think he can win it.
You've always got your doubts about OS horses and whether or not they'll handle the whole M Cup experience, but I think he can do it.

...and let's not forget the Francesca factor!

 

[Cousin Jed]

Purple Moon. Will be right there at the finish

 

[sethlad]

13.LAZER SHARP $61 $100E/W

Couldnt beat Gallic at MV off the perfect ride,very rough hope only

seth

[hey shorty]

No for me for Lazer Sharp.

 

[Ron]

13.LAZER SHARP $61 $100E/W

Couldnt beat Gallic at MV off the perfect ride,very rough hope only

seth

If it kept raining i would have given him a big chance, probably wont do much on a dry track though.

Still at $60 dollars worth a flutter on a place bet.

 

[Angus1]

12.PURPLE MOON
This horse would have had a big chance IMO and still does but they didn't want the rain.
I still feel a place hope is possible.
My 3rd pick on class.

Nag. Place hope only if track stays a bit soft.

seth

i think it might weaken late. would need a torrential downpour i think haha.

 

[Lockyer24]

Lazer Sharp - have never overly rated it but it is on the up unlike plenty of others. Chance to sneak into the top 8 or so

 

[YOTC]

Bottom 5.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Lazer Sharp. Expect to see it in the last half of the field

 

[__Ron_]

Lazer Sharp - Godamn aweful horse. Look at his Winning Edge run for confirmation. Ran second last start in a bad field where the other crap were not good enough to challenge him.

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

seth

I thought his run in CC was like Delta Blues Run in the same race last year - or was that just me

IF the track is dry/dead PM is in with a HUGE chance

Have a good mate who lives in melb and into the racing big time is raving about PM..I go to her because I not an racing expert...and she's usally right most of the time

When you have the big occasions you get the best - any horse with Ollie on board will be hard to beat

Ive got PM MOR and Fuzz as my trifecta
