That's right ... most of the internationals who have performed in the cup have had at least one lead up run out here. I'm warming to him though although apparently he's being checked over by the vets again in the morning so there's obviously some lingering concern on the fitness front...
1. SHOCKING (Gate 24 - $8.50)
Last years winner, and he's actually racing better than he was at this time last year. Put in a teriffic trial for this in the Caulfield Cup at a track he's not really suited at, but was disappointing to my eye yesterday in the Mackinnon. He loves Flemington, and...
Best football we've played all season.

LFC team vs. Everton: Reina; Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Konchesky; Lucas, Meireles, Maxi, Gerrard, Cole; Torres.

Doing this assuming the track will be rated heavy ...
1. SHOCKING ($6.50)
Racing well this prep, and has been well backed this week. Heavy track form is good. Would much prefer him at Flemington though. Happy to take him on. at Caulfield
2. METAL BENDER ($6 FAV)
Looks to be wanting the 2400m...
Potting the trainer more than the horse. Reckon it could've won the Melbourne Cup last year with a better trainer
Besides, I'm a bookie. We've gotta pot the faves [icon_lol1.
