Depending on the track conditions and disregarding Reigning to Win's last start, I like its odds. Also Benedetti looked very strong when it trialled against Smart and Mighty (i think) last week.

Gold Edition is a super horse though.

At the moment I'd go Reigning to Win if the track is running well for the swoopers from Gold Edition and Benedetti.

The only horses that can beat Gold Edition are Miss Andretti and Takeover Target, and they are two super horses, and they only just beat her. Wouldn't be suprised to see Gold Edition destroy this field.
 
Hoping Xcellent gets to the race,very serious horse,Im sure thet wouldnt be going to Brisbane if they werent confident he was right.
Massive task but he looked a star in the making,sure he'll get out to way better than $10 though.

She's 4th up from a 2 month spell, and she raced 13 times last preparation over 8 months...she doesn't get tired.

I cant see her continuing on at this rate. I cant think of many other 3 yr olds with as many starts as she's had. I hope Maund and connections dont run the champ into the ground at a young age.

Fair enough...but haywood was using that as an excuse to why she'll run poorly in the Stradbroke specifically, as if he was questioning her toughness.
 
Got a free $100 bet to use on the Stradbroke from joining up with Sportingbet...not sure where to use it tho, probably one of Mitanni Gold Edition and RTW :confused::confused::confused:

Really hope the track dries up and Xcellent's connections run the horse. It'd be good to see him go around. Looked good in the gallop it had last week.

Ollie isn't having a good draw with the barriers up there this year. He's out in the carpark again.
 
Me too but the forecast is terrible,no way theyll risk him on the wet.

That draw shouldnt faze Black Ink,the wider the better in the wet & he's a backmarker anyway.
Really good field,looking forward to this one.

Lets hope they have a race at all, considering the weather.

I agree with a previous post that they should not start Xcellent first up in such a race in the wet.

Aside from that, I'll have Gold Edition at $5 thanks.
 
This has been a tricky carnival to date and i dont see it getting any easier here.
Wait for the final track conditions,then wait and see the pattern of racing before jumping on board.
The way its shaping up though,I can see a blow out chance getting up,but nothing is staring me in the face at the minute.

Royal Ida likes the sodden tracks...go the Mount Gambier connection! :):thumbsu:
 
I have always liked Snipers Bullet, how does he rate in this field though unbeaten so far 2nd up although thats only 2 from 2 :)
 
I've taken the $6 on Gold Edition, bit worried about the last 50m she's going to have to dig in to hold off the pack.

I have a feeling she will get pipped in the last 10 meters :eek:
There are going to be a wall of horses laid out across the track chasing her, chances are one will be able to dig deep and just get over her, the question is WHO :confused::p.
