Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2339619, member: 1827"] I am still in shock with the death of Stathi, but I will try and find us the Cox Plate winner after today's barrier draw. [b]1. ZIPPING[/b] The war horse who is sure to run well. Moonee Valley doesn't seem to be his track but I reckon Nick Hall could pull a rabbit out of the hat here and try and lead. When this horse looked like getting headed in the Turnbull, he just lifted as soon as he looked those other horses in the eye. Same thing in the Australian Cup. Winning chance for sure and IMO a good each way bet. [b]2. WHOBEGOTYOU[/b] Keen to take him on to be honest. I don't think the 2040m in such a high pressure race suits him. He can get away with a lot in races like the Yalumba which he won last year but in the best WFA race in Australian I think he is a risk. [b]3. LUEN YAT FOREVER[/b] Big run last start, can he win in this company? Wouldn't think so. [b]4. WALL STREET[/b] Should be thereabouts most of the way. Did win the NZ version of the Cox Plate, and the form was franked on the weekend with the win of Ginga Dude, but he didn't beat anything that could run well in this race. Rough place hope maybe but keen to bet around him. [b]5. SO YOU THINK[/b] Not much explanation needed here. If you don't include him in any of your exotic bets you are dead set nuts. Obvious hope and very hard to beat. [b]6. SHOOT OUT[/b] I will be at Eagle Farm on Saturday along with a few other punters from this forum and if Shoot Out kicks clear in the straight in the Cox Plate I am expecting the roof will be lifted. The one every Queenslander will want to win for one of our greatest jockeys, Stathi Katsidis. RIP. [b]7. TRUSTING[/b] Reckon this bloke has found form this time in and is the best roughie in the race. Thought he was a decent bet in the 2009 version of this race until he jarred up in the Guineas and I reckon he is a better horse this year. Looking for him to charge home and you could do worse than have an each way ticket on him. [b]8. CAPTAIN SONADOR[/b] Won the Epsom but doesn't strike me as a WFA horse, and Glen Boss said immediately after the Epsom that he would avoid the Cox Plate with the Captain. Might run well but not for mine. [b]9. AVIENUS[/b] Will find these too classy. [b]10. MORE JOYOUS[/b] A champion mare. I underestimated here and her win in the Toorak was simply awesome. Has now won 7 races in a row and has the quality to win this race. Not saying she is as good as Sunline, but if she keeps improving she may well be. However in saying that she has another 2 Cox Plates to win yet. [b][u]THE TIP[/u][/b] Would love to see Shoot Out win. Other chances are So You Think, Zipping, Trusting and More Joyous. I'd suggest to box those 5 up in a trifecta icon_thumbs_u [/QUOTE]
