Am I doing this right?

No - but that's standard for you

Marmelo probably didn't stay
Either JV or heartbreak
And the moon
Glad they didn't cause had something on the winner
Did fiorente stay at it's first cup run ?

According to old Heatshy logic none of these got the trip

WTF???

I dont know if this was already mentioned but Mr Quickie out for a spell now

 

[Viva la Mattner]

OOE wide open now 8 of top 30 pulled the pin on thier preps

Looking at Lexus stakes with so many spots open Red Galileo could sneak in best of the worst bunch

 

[iluvparis]

Yup - remember when people thought V&D wasn't going to get in

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Yep

Looks like V&D, Big Duke, The Chosen One and Downdraft get in
And throw in Red Galileo as best from Lexus on Saturday

 

[Veer Right]

Cross Counter and Southern France are the two for me with a big leaning towards the former.

Last horse to go back to back with such a weight rise?

I actually think it's thrown in, should be lumping 60 but to answer your question, no idea.

I lol'd

 

[Veer Right]

I lol'd

Why?

 

[iluvparis]

Why?

Because if he is 'thrown in' some of his St Leger rivals must be the best weighted horses in the history of the race

I was looking at Master of Reality, probably the other i should have included. Yep you are probably right.... wait... I.. am probably right

 

[bigpapagman]

I'm just going with the Preusker drug machine, mainly because I can't be ****ed, and I've got it running for a bit after Lys Gracieux won on Saturday.

Doesn’t sound good for Ispolini and to a lesser extent Marmelo.

 

[iluvparis]

If there was any concern they'd be out the gate on Betfair - which they aren't. And as I keep saying - some had CC virtually dead out at Weribee this time last year.

 

[LFC2010]

True Self nominated for the Lexus and MacKinnon as expected really, but still no clearer to what it's going to do. It's the international I want to be on in the cup after Prince Of Arran if it can get in.

Haha and just as I say that they are - but this will 100% be people reacting to the article as it does the rounds on twitter IMHO - I'd be much more concerned if they were out the gate BEFORE the news hit the wires.

Ispolini $23, nothing to sell. Usual reaction but still. marmelo $21, same.

Yeah see above - move hasn't happened until that article started doing the rounds - if your brave/have excess cash I'd almost back all 4 of them mentioned in the article right here and them lay them back in a couple of days time when it turns out to be nothing

Punters.com below listed thier opinion on likely field
Think Downdraft may still scrape in

Melbourne Cup 2019 - Likely field

No.	Horse	Sex	Age	Trainer	Weight	Penalty
1	MER DE GLACE (JPN)	H	5	Hisashi Shimizu	56kg	1.0kg

Sorry, noob question here but does this mean MDG races with 56kg or 57?

I got on it a while ago for the double to win $10k but i have my own little system thing that partly says horses dont win with over 56.5.

57 would really worry me. Any help appreciated
