[Cletus]

24 for Vinnie Roe and 20 for Leica Falcon. Nasty.

 

[Moffo]

thats hard to read!

I really think there are only a couple of genuine chances in this race, the rest are there to make numbers

Take:

Makybe Diva
Eye Popper
Railings
Demerger
Strasbourg
Xcellent

And you wouldn't be far off the Triffecta

 

[Moffo]

I think Dermot will spit him dummy out on Tues morn and scratch Vinnie

I can't see any form behind LF staying the 3200 so no thanks

 

[Moffo]

I've given each a horse a rating. Either Good Chance (GC), Possible (P) and No Thanks (NT)

The ones in bold are your triffecta multiples boys and girls!

 

[Big Mick]

My trifecta

1. Diva
2. Xcellant, Eye Popper, Leica Falcon, Railings, Hugs Dancer
3. Field

Gonna put $80 on it.

I think Hugs is a great long shot chance...had a European preparation...very fresh...from reports been working very well in trackwork.

 

[El Diablo]

Lachlan River

 

[Big Mick]

had a big run today...i was on it...was very impressed....will love the extra distance....but i don't think it'll be able to match it come tuesday.

 

[lockyno1]

Good draw for the Diva! Shocker for Vinnie Roe!

 

[griffo346]

Makybe Diva
Railings
Eye Popper

my three for a trifector i am gunna put 50 on it

 

[Moffo]

My only worry with Lachlan is whether it has the class of the others

I think youre pretty close here. Im contemplating taking on Railings but im not sure...Im definately including Distinction, horse is apparently in the best form of its career. I think Portland Singa is a good chance and Lachlan Rivers run was impressive...

 

[steaming stormer]

Lachlan River is the one that will add value to the tris. Could run 3rd. The Diva will have my support, but I think Eye Popper might have my money!

 

[Dragons_#1]

eye popper or vinnie roe has my money

 

[Cletus]

My only worry with Lachlan is whether it has the class of the others

Couldn't be as classy Strasburg! What a horse:lol:.

I'm still going for Eye Popper but Distinction worries me. Actually everything apart from Eye Popper wories me.

 

[waltzing Meninga]

I think Vinnie Row has a great chance despite the barrier draw. It is racing as good as ever and meets the Diva on the same weight as opposed to last year. It would have won last year if the jockey had half a brain and now the Diva's weight has been increased. Good value at $8

 

[Billy Gunn]

Eye Poper on top

from

Distinction

Vinnie Roe

Railings

Roughie; Strasy (got him fixed odds @ 200/1 trained by the master)

 

[Raider_69]

Xcellent to Eye Popper into Hugs Dancer if its dry
If its wet, Makybe Diva to Vinnie Roe into Hugs again
