Racing January Daily Punt: They call it the Magic Millions because millions magically disappear

Lol nice reverse boatie with the leader going out like an absolute cut snake! #nothingsuss

lolperf

Do the form mate, been like 35 starts since Mervyn hasn't led.

Since he's been a metro grade horse with exception of 18/04/20, 05/10/19all were at a very, very strong tempo.

Do love your one race analysis though.

Mervyn always lead.
even I know that.

yes there’s leading and then leading to ensure the back marker backed off the map will have every chance to run over the top of you

That's just an embarrassing take for anyone that thinks they know what they are doing.

He's legitimately the fastest horse in WA and does it every start. He led up peak Fabergino with ease. Select group that have led her when she jumps clean: Nature Strip, Eduardo and.... Mervyn.

#they throwing all the Kem/MC winnings onto Beret now

Always concerning drawing out at 1800m start but think Dance Music is probably best of the day.

Been about 2 years since I have backed her but one of the toughest, consistent horses in WA and she's a mare to go with it. Happy to forgive her minor slip last week.

Would there be a reason why my Miss Conteki bet is still pending at TAB? Are they down?

Just had a look at the Perth cup field

Sort of hoping Neufbosc wins to provide an exclamation mark

Isn't he the defending champ? It's hard to tell any of the Perf races apart as they always race each other again and again no matter what the distance

 

[Gavin Excell]

At least it's no longer a group 1

Weakest I have seen in my time doing this. Lacks the WFA horses coming through to it.

Cockney Crew/Neufbosc

Got Neufbosc fave at about $6 the field but he's at least 2L behind where he got to last year and is coming off a stinker.

I'd be boots in backing Bams on Fire on a rain affected track

The kind of laughable form turnaround you expect in a lolperf big one. And they seemed to know it was coming as soon as final field was declared

Good stuff,if he was on it would've paid $2

That was about as exciting as it looked on paper. Neufbosc back to old Neufbosc where he just seemed to pull one out to mug Truly Great. Midnight Blue recovers from the mid prep injury by the master trainers and just about defaults a cup. Not sure he's going much better than last year when beaten 5.
