Another go at shuffling the deck chairs for rankings post 3rd acceptances

1. ZARDOZI - From no where to #1 seed but that Sydney form looks to be travelling a lot better than the Melbourne form and she was great in the Metrop and wins that every time if she just has an ounce of luck. Meets LL significantly better at the weights too so can't see him beating her home very often.

2. SAYEDATY SEDATY - Just needs to get a run but with not much standing up here his form lines are looking extremely strong. Seeing the likes of City of Troy, Los Angeles, Jan Brueghel, Deira Mile and Bellum Justum in the form guide just looking better and better as the season goes on.

3. DUKE DE SESSA - Purely based on the fact he is 50-1 but was only as couple lengths off Buckaroo and Eliyass in the Turnbull and you know he will appreciate the step up in trip where as they may not. If we get a wet track he goes into all exotics.

4. COCO SUN - Expect she runs well at WFA this weekend behind Mr B and shortens right up down in the weights. Should continue to improve stepping out in trip.

5. ELIYASS - Nice run on the speed in the Turnbull which looks the right sort of form. Never raced behind 2000m has to be some sort of query though.

6. BUCKAROO - Same as above. Racing well but another who is very suspect at the trip as we saw in the Tancred. Don't think being gelded is going to turn him into a mile and a a half horse but we will see.

7. WARMONGER - Bit flat 2nd up and would have liked to have seen him finish a lot stronger in the Turnbull but out to a trip he wants now.

8. LAND LEGEND - Nice win in the Metrop but impossible to back him in a race with Zardozi after that with the 3kg weight swing and Zardozi having no luck in the run. Just a bit too short in the market.

9. WARP SPEED - Has class but will find this too short I think. Should still be closing off strongly though.

10. GEAR UP - #YOLO @ $201/$51. Take the double with the Herbert Power which I think he can win and probably going to be some sort of value even for a very unlikely winner.

I can’t believe the hype around SS in this thread. He finished 4 lengths behind JB despite having a 3 pound advantage. That is not “elite” form.

He is no good, just like Saint George who was hyped to the moon in the Melbourne Cup thread.

Who’s your tip Diggo? Nice to see you’ve come to the thread and made a case for someone…

4 lengths off the raging Melbourne Cup favourite no good. Got to get within 3 or in the bin right

Barrier 2 will be sitting 4th/5th in a pocket
Pop out at the 500m and get him going through his gears with 50kg on his back … that’s nothing he’s never carried less than 57.5kg his whole career won’t know himself
 
Going to be a cracking race. With Dukes, Hey Hey it’s Saturday and Deny Knowledge all rolling forward I reckon most horses will get their chance fanning for home. Will be about 10 of them looking like winners at the top of the straight.

With the potential of a bit of rain and all the talk about the rail last weekend the track staff will over correct and it will be a swoopers day.

Barrier Draw winners: Buckaroo, Dukes, Zardozi, SS

Barrier Draw losers: Eliyass, Land Legend, Coco Sun, and probably Warmonger after they said they wanted to settle more forward in the race

Plan for a dead 5 or good 4
 
Land Legend looks like he is going to be buried from that draw.

Happy enough with Sayedaty but he would want to be kicking him up early to hold a spot otherwise he is in danger of being buried with LL with the speed coming across from out wide.

Jump well and take the 1/1 perhaps ?
Then get rolling from the 600 get the others lungs burning over the last 200

I would say almost guaranteed he will get pushed down onto the rails so behind leader like the Derby would be best case scenario and then just hope that there is a chance he or another horse can run it like the 2018 version
