Interpretation is shaping as a First 4 roughie on the day for me

He ran super in last year’s race. Needs a good track, and ideally to not have to run past 23 horses again.

Haha ...I was waiting for someone to mention it, glad it was you.
Last year's run was underrated in what was a stronger edition of the race and looks like it's travelling better.
One thing I've noticed with him he needs acres of space to get fully wound up, probs one of them nags that's a bit timid but the staying ability is definitely there.

Absolutely. He stormed home last year after a poor ride.

Muramasa could be the donkey that spoils a few exotics too. Finished off alongside interpretation. Won over 2600m at flemington.

Nah would be next to no chance. The Champions Stakes is sitting there post Cox Plate and Waller already has one of his class WFA horses having a crack

She firmed because people backed her after she dumped the jockey at the Valley and the connections were saying she wouldnt go to the Cox Plate

Is that next to no chance to run or win if she runs. I doubt she runs in it but if she did I think she is a chance met Buckaroo twice recently and beaten him both times. She has one failure at 2,400 on a rain effect track. Has had nearly the same prep as Very Elleegant except the second up 1,600 metre races were in different races the year VE won it.

Had a good hit out Tuesday for longer race LOL. I agree unlikely to run but if she did would be a great chance if she run the trip.

I would give her less than 2% chance of lining up in the race. Wouldn't make much sense as a gun 2000m horse with the Champion Stakes sitting there if needed post Cox Plate. Plus Waller already has Buckaroo going to the Cup so no need to test both his star middle distance horses. She also doesn't even look like a 2 miler so would be very strange.

Verry Elleegant was already an Oaks, Tancred and CC winner over 2400m before she even contested and lost her first MC

1kg penalty for Onesmoothoperator seems about right

$21 on the TAB already

Sounds like George (bar plates) won’t progress even if wins tonight (massive turnaround if he actually does).

 

[Jugada]

Okita Soushi a solid top 6 shot now he has found form out here. Although value almost certainly gone now he has won the MV Cup

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Hope Okita Soushi gets a MC start now. Got 80s before tonight's race.

Will be in now

Foreman also said the run of Saint George was encouraging and they are hoping natural attrition sees him get a start in the cup

Went from looking completely cooked on the bend to meh not too bad

Yep thought he would tail off a fair way at the 400

Hope you backed him each way.
The CC and international form is lengths better than anything else for the Cup.

Surely he’s no hope based on the OOE

 

[Sockeye]

Thought George was the clerk of the course for most of it. Looking like a 4000m horse, not one suited to Aus racing.

His closing sectionals will be more than acceptable, 3200m might well be his go. Has the turn of foot too which is most crucial.

Was told this morning they’d already ruled it out of MC regardless of what happened tonight, so . Either way I sold back all I had him going for on the fair for a bit of a loss.

 

[Aussie Assault]

Think that had a bit to do with the jock. Looked indecisive, was going wide, then looked inside, then that shut down and went back outside to finish strong late.. as you should do mind you if you sit at the back doing zero work.

What does Brayden Star need to get in?

Big pipe opener by Saint George.

Big attrition. Probably like 4 or 5 off a run even taking all the non likely runners out

POINT KING not going to the Cup

Disappointing as one of the ones sucking up unders at the top of the market

I think that was Kah's ride.

Shaping out to to be a decent enough MC now.
