Hard to get too excited about anything coming out of the CC outside of Buckaroo

Outside of Buckaroo (who doubt can run 2 mile but also didn’t think could run mile and a half), thought Valiant King was a good run.

Nah 9th beaten 13 lengths is never a good run no matter how hard you squint

 

[Jugada]

I didn't think Buckaroo would run 2400 but off today he looked clearly the most likely to run out the two miles so can only go with that rather than the vibe of it.

If we got a bone dry Flemington I could entertain Warp Speed if we got a massive blow out in odds off today but otherwise ill be penning everything else out of the race

Outside gate, 3 wide, 15/13 800/400. Not suggesting has a hope, just responding to ‘nothing out of CC’ (that said it’s $101 POP price now and it’s in the 24).

3 wide with cover is a perfectly fine place to be and its not like he ran on at all off the run. If we are looking back that far to find a run then it just shows how cooked the rest of them are

My fair trade trigger finger was ready to sell a bit back at 120 but yeah held off, 28 day forecast has it warm and dry at this point in time (though can’t recall a CC run as poor as it was turning the tables).

Fair call J, plenty were plodding a fair way out, Teddy thought he ran well/better over 2 mile. Know he had a snotty nose of sorts putting his prep back a bit, see how he goes in a few weeks.

 

[Jugada]

Got to spin it some how when you are getting lapped. He hasn't even run beyond 2400m himself so has to have similar question marks at the trip. Won't be one I will be entertaining anyway, even at the huge odds I think there will be better plays for rough exotics

The MC field is so weak this year that if they decided to push on with buckaroo, he would be a chance. Super impressive today.

Land legend - he didnt settle at all which I suspect is a problem when trying to run 2 mile. How much do you forgive the fact he didn't like the soft track? Is it similar to WAF in the 2022 melb cup? It reminded me of it where he got to the turn and tried to go but just battled through the ground

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Nothing from today will figure in the Melbourne Cup

It’s a race in 3

Jan Brueghel, Absurde and Vauban

 

[pacemaker]

Why isn't Aiden Obrien bring Kyprios down? 6-7 in a row.

The Melbourne Cup has been weak depthwise for the past 3 years I think and 2024 will be the same = weak.

At this stage, the winner looks to me between JB and Buckaroo.

The rest of the field is not good enough.

If its a good 4 on cup day, do you still rate vauban a winning chance?

 

[Jugada]

Buckaroo is the #1 seed if he heads there now. Won't get a better Flemington trial in a Caulfield Cup

 

[pendlebury_10]

Also have they missed a trick with Duke De Sessa not being nominated? With so little depth this year, surely would have been a chance or at least Top 5 finish.

Land Legend’s run was good given the conditions and barrier but definitely not the $15 chance in the MC that TAB currently have him at.
They also have Point King at $10 … crazy.

This actually might be the worst melb cup in recent memory.

How far back are you going?

Yes

 

[Jugada]

Firm track and you can pen Vauban imo
