beadman on board, c.downs is a special Macca!

I'm not so sure... Churchill Downs had Bossy on last start. Bossy goes aboard Rogersons horse who he has ridden before... Boom Time Savings over raced last start and was going hard from the 800m. It battled on strongly for 2nd and the time was only .48seconds slower than the win of Casino Prince. However the Boom Time Savings race was on a slow track, Casino Prince race was on a good track. Churchill Downs in that race behind Casino Prince copped a check down the straight but was still beaten by 4.2 lengths. It's a lot to make up...

I'm actually quite keen on Boom Time Savings from the gate with Boss on board. If he gets it to settle just off the speed and is in the firing line, it'll be up for the fight going on it's big run last start....

Boom Time Savings for me at 9/1 will do.

 

[Macca_]

Oh, plus she has the Plagiarize form... Gotta be a silver lining in this somewhere for me

 

[Raider_69]

Might get on BTS for 25 each way

 

[Raider_69]

since nuffs is winning the tipping, can we get his pick :lol:

 

[Macca_]

Nuffs has been with Casino Prince for a few weeks now.

I am a big fan of Churchill Downs...

I think itll be very hard to hold out...

BTS is going to be up there, and WONERFUL WORLD is value for each way punters

 

[Nuffs]

it's my fantasy animal :lol:

yeah i'll be on CASINO PRINCE for sure. i owe him hundreds so i'll be happy to stick with him

i'm really liking EMPIRES CHOICE too. but does anyone know the last maiden runner to win the Slipper??

i think the barrier will beat UNIVERSAL QUEEN

big query on MISS FINLAND. last 2 starts have been on wet tracks and beaten 2.5 both times. given a firm track i think she'll be running on really well from midfield

and BOOM TIME SAVINGS is a doubt for me. she's was beaten by 3 promising gallopers in her first 3 starts and deserved to start 2nd fav last start. i just don't think that running 2nd to pure edition is good form for this race. but again, give a firm track and just like MISS FINLAND, could get a run to suit and get home well.

 

[Nuffs]

and i'm not even bothering with CHURCHILL DOWNS. was hyped after finishing 2nd in MM, when i thought the winner was just as unlucky and still won by 2 lengths

was AGAIN judged unlucky last start but it had no hope and was plugging on the inside

Not sure. This doesn't appear to be that strong a field though on recent times and it's well open for a maiden to win it.

and BOOM TIME SAVINGS is a doubt for me. she's was beaten by 3 promising gallopers in her first 3 starts and deserved to start 2nd fav last start. i just don't think that running 2nd to pure edition is good form for this race. but again, give a firm track and just like MISS FINLAND, could get a run to suit and get home well.

She over raced last start and virually took off at the 800m. Was back on the rail on a slow track and still only got beaten a length fighting on well. If she settles for Boss and gets a good run from the gate, she'll be strong when the pressure goes on which you need to be to win a slipper.

I'm also not discounting the QLD form re Pure Energy and Gold Edition either. They have both been performing great and better than any of the VIC horses. The form behind those 2 will prove to be good form I believe. Both of them are good each way odds for the Slipper too.

 

[OVP]

I quite like Universal Queen, with Danny Beasley the Slipper specialist on her at 15s. But i still think Miss Finland will win it. So there's the exacta ;-)

 

[Macca_]

Plagiarize dammit!!! :lol:

 

[Billy Gunn]

Done the form (very hard to line up)

I'm going with an outsider Blue Lago - ran very well on Saturday at the Valley in a smart time - got good jockey on board and trained by a Slipper freak.

In saying all that you could make a strong case for almost half the field but that's where my hard earned will be (a little each way)

 

[stuke]

i am liking Diego Garcia for the Slipper.

 

[Tim Brasher]

Ive backed Kaphero and Wonderful World each way and boxed them in a 6 horse flexi trifecta with Diego Garcia, Universal Queen, Boom Time Savings and Churchill Downs

 

[Hellsy]

Who won????

 

[OVP]

Who won????

Miss Finland won by about 5 lengths from Pure Energy and Churchill Downs. No jockey wanted to go up the rails and they all went wide except for Craig Williams on Miss Finland. Very cheeky and very great ride that one. A bit of a gamble that paid off big time.

Thanks!
