Message: [QUOTE="Dave, post: 2338259, member: 1763"] Caulfied Cup is a very hard race this year. As usual the Sydney horses look to have the best form but it doesn't always work out that way. Metal Bender was enormous last start, Herculian Prince gets in extremely well at the weights. You probably have to forgive Dariana for her poor run last start and Faint Perfume was good last time also. I am warming towards Shocking for the CC - I know Flemington is his best track but he is going great guns and I think 2400 is his best distance. Cox Plate looks over now - So You Think is a champion and barring injury he could do a Kingston Town and win 3 Plates in a row - remember he was still technically a 2yo when he won it last year. I love Zipping and I think Shoot Out could run a big race with a jockey change but for me it's not a race to bet in - sit back with beverage in hand and salute a champion as he wins his 2nd Cox Plate Melbourne Cup will be very interesting - will Bart run So You Think? Can Shocking carry the weight to a 2nd straight cup? What about the imports - there is usually 1 or 2 who run well and the Japanese are back this year. Come on Lloyd, keep the grey going - it doesn't look to be a vintage MC so I think Linton can get away with it this year. Dariana is a chance and for a couple of roughies I think Monaco Consul (no luck last 2 starts and likes Flemington) and Harris Tweed (ran well in the cup last year and is going better this year) could run well. The race of the Spring though could be Hay List v Black Caviar - 2 outstanding sprinters with freakish records. I think Hay List will have her measure though Retrieve looks good for the Derby and I think a filly by the name of Brazilian Pulse is a good thing in the Oaks if she gets there (back her on Wednesday in the 1000 Guineas first though) Also make sure you are on Palacio De Cristal whenever she starts at Flemington.
