Jumped on Farraaj last night @ 15's e/w (Mackinnon). Thought its UK form read ok, must have some talent to be brought to Aus, and then noticed it was a 2nd acceptor for the Cox Plate so yes must have some ability. Missing the CP might work in his favour as the other CP runners in the Mackinnon might be a bit flat after a tough run last week. Opened @ 17's on Sportsbet and is now in to 10's, shorter on Unitab fixed odds. If it can go well fresh then it might be another case of an overseas raider pantsing our better horses.

Geez - didn't think he'd get smashed like that on the fixed odds - thought he'd be relatively friendless. Bit annoying!!!
Still probably the type of horse whose price should hold up ok on the tote.
