Geelong Cup - October 20

[rizzo]

Looks to be another cracking cup with a good mix of internationals and some local stars.

Once Were Wild and Moudre will both be there, while Americain and Drunken Sailor will also go around.

I cant wait, will be going down to my 1st geelong cup, after me and my mates had heaps of fun at the "bool" for the gran annual earlier this year. We got this really good package, for $165 we get a bus to the track from this hotel/pub, entry, race book and an open bar in this trackside marquee type thing. Really looking foward to it.

 

[Barwick17]

I am going back to the cup for the first time since Oregon Star saluted! Will be on the best local I think!

 

[bluegumby]

looking at the noms i see im imposing again. after collecting @ 31.00 i owe it a 10er if it makes the field. uk rating is 105 here was 82 now 87 should be up there. hopefully some good odds are there to be taken

 

[Rough_Edges]

Yep bluegumby, could not believe a 102 UK rater got into an 82 rater in Austrlia.

Had to include it just because of that.

Won well as well down the inside.

Fields up. Some of the highly rated ones get good barriers

 

[ECHUCABOY]

Does the winner get a run in the cup??? Or just a lead up??

Perfect Pecs ( Anabaa x Sahara Flight) is a Half Brother to our nag (Oratoria x Sahara Flight). Hope he goes really well this weekend on his way to the Derby!

Hore-Lacy has big wraps on him, so lets see...

Also I see The Comedian is up again....Last Spring Freedy said he was one to watch...obviously didn't go on with it...Interesting to see how he goes

 

[Hoffy95]

Drunken Sailor looks the pick.

Scotland The Brave in the Classic.

 

[jmirra]

once were wild

 

[_SYT_]

It wouldn't be the first time this season that we've seen a Gai runner turn it all around to win.. both of the internationals look pretty handy.

Huge day, hopefully conditions will be perfect.

 

[disgruntled goat]

Rundle.

 

[Spinksy]

Yeah, real quality field..happy with it..

Will the track stay a Slow ?? Whats the Geel weather outlook ??

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Out of Drunken Sailor, No Wine No Song, Exceptionally & Mr Charlie in the main race I reckon.

 

[KardiniaPark]

I like exceptionally as long as it is dead or the better side of slow. I would really like to take the $6.50 - $2.37 now but it's probably no hope if it keeps on raining. So will have to wait it out. I think if it ends up being really heavy then I'll be on No Wine No Song.

 

[sniper77]

KP, track is a Slow6 at the moment. Should not get any worse than that. Should see an upgrade on Wednesday morning. Working around a Dead5 in terms of form.

And I am with you re. Exceptionally. Run behind Harris Tweed was terrific. Happy to take the $6.50 now, but really shouldn't go below $6 on the tote come Wednesday afternoon. Will also have a little nibble at the $41 for her to win the Melb Cup.

 

[KardiniaPark]

Great news. Thanks

 

[Whispers]

Exceptionally is peaking at the right time. However, being a swooper, I'm not sure if there will be enough metres in the straight to have a decent crack at the front runners. Still, I'll be backing it for both Geelong and Melbourne Cup.

 

[iluvparis]

Fairly open race so should be good value whoever you tip.

I like Drunken Sailor, Once Were Wild, and The Hombre

 

[CranktheAnchors]

I'm going to be following the form of Harris Tweed on Turnball Stakes Day.

Exceptionally stormed home for 2nd great run and will be coming home well again tomorrow.

Miles Above. Was well in the money had a torrid run and did well to finish 4th to Harris Tweed. Great value at $26.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Think i'll have a crack at box 1st 4/Tri

Moudre
