Melb Cup Formtalk.....Mon 31 Oct 8pm

Modun - my pick of the Godolphins and reminds me a little of Mahler (3rd in 2007).

Still think he is place at best though.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Modun - will be definately having a saver & throwing into the multi's.
Per Seth mountain of a horse & think his Ebor run was full of merit. Clearly the best roughie for me.

 

[Lockyer24]

Modun - the equal most likely of the British horses to run a place with Moyenne Corniche - will stick on for a long way I feel. A potential All The Good type. McEvoy aboard is a win.

 

[matty p]

What are people's thoughts on Lost In The Moment's performance in the Ebor? Moyenne Corniche and Fox Hunt looked much better in that.

 

[mattys123]

What I like about Modun is he's a rare euro backmarker, ton of talent, just don't know if he's ready yet.

17. At First Sight...10k @ $15 to $14

Has the best formline of the Spring but is off a setback.
If he's fully recovered,will be charging home

seth

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

If I hadn't seen the Goodwood Cup i'd agree

I just have certain rules that I stick by over the years that have served me well. So yes while I agree the Goodwood run was full of merit, I am happy to let it slide.

 

[thecarpetsnake]

Modun seems like the right type of horse for the race but is the inside draw a problem for the biggest horse ever??

 

[mattys123]

At First Sight is a must for exotics, always seems to find 1-2 better then it.

Plus, how good is the form from Bendigo? Has a BC runner ever placed in a Melbourne Cup?

 

[dr nick]

At First Sight - terrific chance. He stormed home at Bendigo carrying 58 after recovering from that virus. Only 52.5kg now. Have a piece of that.

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Ticks many boxes.

Form has been great, down in the weights & significant weight drop, bred to win a Cup, stable know what is required, etc.
Only ever won 1 race but since its maiden win has only ever raced against the best. At Bendigo appeared to be back to his best - big threat.

 

[Lockyer24]

At First Sight - the lightweighted chance, will win the race. Is the Shocking of this year who will peak on this day - sit in a slightly worse than midfield spot from that alley and be the one and only runner to get past Americain. The December Draw 2nd was the run that highlighted how good he is, and will take great benefit from that Bendigo Cup run with topweight.
Just needs to get the trip but racing like its what he needs to get past them all.

Bendigo Cup has always been after the cup, this is the first year as a lead in race.

 

[sethlad]

18. Moyenne Corniche.......20k @$26

Was decent at Caulfield,not a winning hope for me but in my multis

seth

After the French he's surely the next best chance on form

But if i'm playing devil's advocate, maybe it doesn't know how to win.... Only ever done it once before
That and lloyd is a douche

Oh yeah, that might explain why no BC runner has ever placed in the MC, lol.

1st time it has ever been run before the MC.
Might become the new Geelong cup.

 

[matty p]

At First Sight - Reminds me of Alcopop. Will give it a show but won't be strong enough to win. Big place chance.

Bendigo Cup has never been relevant before with it's distance and the Lexus being shortly after. Until now...

 

[Cousin Jed]

At First Sight - By Galileo, form through Tanby, include.

 

[dr nick]

Moyenne Corniche - won the Ebor, Prebble on board, good run in the Herbert Power not bad for $30

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

I would be so happy if it's relevant after tomorrow

 

[dr nick]

haha hopefully a few more are writing off BC form for that reason

 

[Lockyer24]

Moyenne Corniche - I loved his run in the Herbert Power and he will measure up against the Caulfield Cup runners...just not sure he has the explosive turn of foot to win - will keep coming and coming but just not as quick as the winner.

Agreed

Couldn't believe the ridiculous odds it started in Herbert Power but can't see it winning Melb Cup being ridden cold like that

Won the ebor but other internationals have massive pull in weights from that. Place only
