Very good race this!

Form needs a good going over for me.

BENTLEY BISCUIT! Forget his run at Caulfield, he needs the bigger track, with the long straight. he loves Randwick and there's not much difference. weighted well with 53kg, can run the 1600m. still has improvement for his 3rd up run this prep.

DESERT WAR will run well, as always, but i think the track is favouring handy horses now. but he'll look the winner in the straight

APACHE CAT is a big chance. loves the track, loves the distance. if Oliver can take a sit behind the leaders, he could just win.

DIVINE MADONNA was sensational last week coming down the outside. she LOVES flemington, has nothing on her back, will be hard fit for this. geez, i may even talk myself into her by tomorrow

go the biscuit

Divine Madonna has to be a huge chance.
Very good race though.

 

[Macca_]

She'll certainly be flying home with that weight juggy.

I'm looking forward to having a look at the form soon

Going with Bentley Biscuit (8) here. Didn't handle Caulfield at all last start and Flemington will suit perfectly. Nicely in at 53kg's and Bowman should be able to give him a good run from barrier 10. 3rd up here, looks a top chance.

This is the race Seachange (11) is here for. Raced well at her first start in oz however I was a little critical of the jockey for not asking her for more over the final 100m. Perhaps they didn't want a tough hit out ahead of this race. Barrier 18 ain't no help though.

Desert War (1) will run his normal race and give them something to pass. Might be a bit more pressure on up in front here which will give him something to think about. Drawn well, go well.

Expecting another big finish from the mare Divine Madonna (15) especially with only 51kgs. She'll be running into it near the line.

Honor in War (5) is interesting. Was scratched from the Cox Plate because of a banned substance which is legal in the US. If they've been able to keep him fresh enough, he's a real chance here. There was money for him at big odds on the Cox Plate.

Cinque Cento (16) is another with a light weight that could be rattling home.

Where is Mnemosyne? She would have been a great chance on last weeks run on a biased track!

Bugger the 7's are long gone for Biscuit...

Talking about biased tracks, i wonder what it will be like today.
Hopefully no fast lanes and suiting runners on the pace and also from the tail of the field.
Nothing is more disappointing than having a biased track, whether it be at a major meeting or just a normal satdy.

I'm taking Divine Madonna to run away with it here, taking the win from Desert War and Lad of the Manor. LOTM is still a classy horse and does well at this distance.. one of my fave horses and I reckon the drop back in distance will suit very well.

 

[Macca_]

Good win by that mare. She deserved a good one.

She was the only one (with Mnemosyne) to make any ground on that joke of a track last Saturday which aided all the ones back on the rail. No bias today!

And someone tell Gai to take that thing (BB) back to Sydney, it's got no idea down there.

Would have loved to see her in this race!
