[IanG]

When's the field to be announced?

 

[Kid-Dynamite]

Red Ruler trained by John Sargent!!

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

Before barrier draws. Speed Gifted from Predatory Pricer.

 

[hineyrulz]

Get on the Petals!!

 

[Risky_6]

keep an eye out for Cima De Triomphe, this horse has some class about it.

 

[Flapper]

I cleaned up on the winner last year Can Goldolphin back it up? Kirklees certainly looks like a better horse than All The Good, with excellent lead up form. Clima de Triomphe does look classy, but if I was to go with an OS raider, probably Kirklees. Now Goldolphin's got a major race, the floodgates may very well open.

Depending on the barrier draw, i am also liking CEST LA GUERRE. The field doesnt look that strong. It ran well last year and is currently paying around $17

 

[hineyrulz]

Worst Caulfield Cup field in yonks,can see another long shot will probably win this.

 

[Evenflow]

There's 10 group 1 winners in the field so there's still plenty of talent there. You'd be hard pressed to find many races with that amount of individual G1 winners in it. I'll be waiting on the barrier draw and to see how much rain there is this week as there's been a bit forecast.

$7 good value for a favourite. I think Preditory Pricer is also good value.

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

Assuming it will be wet but not a bog.

Kirkless from Predatory Pricer.

 

[IanG]

Wonder if its worth a dash at Viewed as well. Last year's Melbourne Cup winner.

 

[Flapper]

The barrier draw only makes things more clearer for me. Kirklees from Roman Emperor and Cima De Triomphe.

 

[dogz08]

Daffodil at $11 yes please!!

Boxed Tri

As long its not a bog down there, hoping for no worse than the better side of dead.

 

[Evenflow]

They reckon Caulfield hasn't had much rain and won't be likely to get a great deal either. It's a dead 4 atm but they reckon there'll be a chance of an upgrade before Saturday.

As for who i think will win i'm still undecided. Will wait until i look at the form tonight.

 

[IanG]

Seems to be a few there worth having a dash at.

 

[hineyrulz]

Very tough race, Cima De Triomphe is weighted to win. If the 2 imports run anywhere near their best they win. Viewed is flying, as is Master O'Reilly. Damn tough race.

My picks

Cima De Triomphe
Viewed
Kirklees
Predatory Pricer

And Zavite at Odds will run a race if the track isn't too wet.
