Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2246029, member: 1827"] Here's my preview. Yes I am bored [icon_lol1. [b]1. Viewed (15) [/b] In fantastic form and will be right in this. Ran a bottler in this race last year leading into the Melbourne Cup. Question is will he be in the race to win it or just use it to tick over for the first Tuesday in November. Bart??? [b]2. Kirklees (7) [/b] Never seen him race in Australia so will not back him. I know All The Good won it last year without a lead-up run but I just can't depart with my hard-earned before seeing a horse run in Australian conditions. If he runs well here I could back him in the Melbourne Cup but not on Saturday. That's not so say there's no respect, the Godolphin team aren't to be messed with. [b]3. Cest La Guerre (13) [/b] Will be loving the prospect of a rain affected track and getting towards the distances that suit him. Should be ridden back from the barrier and charging home. Big chance. [b]4. Cima De Triomphe (11) [/b] See above with Kirklees. Likewise with Godolpin though, Luca Cumani knows this race and our conditions better than any other overseas trainer so he'd be my pick of the Internationals. No bet though. [b]5. Fiumicino (20) [/b] No, it's a pity he's a gelding, if he was a stallion he'd probably retire. [b]6. Master O'Reilly (18) [/b] From that barrier they'll probably ride him cold and because of that I can't back him. He's in good form, but he is always in good form, and hasn't won a race since this one 2 years ago. [b]7. Roman Emporer (5) [/b] Can't write him off because of the rain and the Bart-factor. Has to go in all bets. [b]8. Sarrera (10) [/b] Been racing with Daffodil in NZ and will not beat her in this so not for me. [b]9. Predatory Pricer (16) [/b] In good form but I have questions over him running the trip. He did it in the Derby against his own age but not sure he's upto this level. In saying that though he's probably in too good form to leave out of exotics. [b]10. Red Ruler (14) [/b] Had all the advantages in the Turnbull and never looked likely. No. [b]11. Zavite (8) [/b] Will lead and make his own luck, but hard to see him holding on for a place. [b]12. Harris Tweed (2) [/b] No. [b]13. Light Vision (19) [/b] Handy stayer but not group 1 level IMO. Can win a race like the Saab on Derby Day, I'd rather back him in that. [b]14. Daffodil (4) [/b] I'd forget her last run, she got no favours in the straight and was ridden poorly. She'll get a cosy run from that barrier and if they take her just worse than midfield she'd have to be a hope. [b]15. Ready To Lift (12) [/b] B-grader not up to this company. [b]16. Red Lord (3) [/b] Similar to Light Vision. Just out of his depth in this race. [b]17. Vigor (22) [/b] His run in the Makybe Diva was fantastic but his runs since then have been poor, and couple that with the outside barrier - no hope. [b]18. Allez Wonder (6) [/b] 2000m, back to 1600m, and now back to 2400m, Bart works in mysterious ways. And that's why I can't write her off!! [b]19e. Baughurst (21) [/b] See Red Lord and Light Vision. In good form but not upto this company. [b]20e. Shocking (17) [/b] Has an appropriate name considering the hype around him at the start of the Spring. B-grader, and no. [b]21e. Newport (1) [/b] He's an old marvel but tends to do a lot wrong in races and for that reason you couldn't back him in this. [b]22e. Miss Darcey (9) [/b] Will find these a bit too tough for her if she gets a run. I'll put Cest La Guerre on top if the rain continues in Melbourne. And I'll include these in the quaddie - Viewed, Roman Emporer, Predatory Pricer, Daffodil, Allez Wonder. [/QUOTE]
