How the f**k is this a group 1 event?

Flora Danica will sh*t on these if it gets a run

 

[Macca_]

She's in Mof. That's the final field. It's the second rate 3 year old fillies. All the gun ones went to Sydney for that Oaks.

[Moffo]

how can flora lose?

 

[Billy Gunn]

The fav will be hard to beat but your right how can this be rated a Group 1 it's a dead set listed race at best

 

[Macca_]

Had a look this arve.

For mine there are 7 chances, in order (with current odds) -
4 Purde P GATT 7.50 2.65
2 Brockman's Lass K MCEVOY 3.00 1.50
8 Gothic Marian D GAUCI 21.00 6.00
1 Flora Danica J BOWMAN 5.00 2.00
5 Marju Snip S ARNOLD 9.00 3.00
11 Fanciful Bella M NEILSON 17.00 5.00
12 Absolute Dream C WILLIAMS 13.00 4.00

Been impressed with both of Purde both starts in Australia. 3rd up in oz tomorrow and set for this race you'd imagine. Drawn well, Gatt to ride again and will be right there in the finish.

Brockman's Lass hard to beat from the gate and won in similar fashion to Purde last start.

Huge watch on Gothic Marian! If she wasn't drawn out in Western Australia I'd put her on top. Expect to see her flying late.

I'm no knock for Flora Danica. However I always dislike backing horses after their grand final. She would have been set for the AJC Oaks and this an after thought. Also drawn near WA. And I know she's been racing in good company, but you still worry with a 0 in the win colomn after 16 starts.

Marju Snip can't be faulted and loves the track. Will be there abouts.

Fanciful Bella and Absolute Dream beaten by Purde and Brockman's Lass respectively, also have claims.

 

[Moffo]

she is over 2,000 mate, i don't think the barrier is a killer as it'll race forward anyway. racing after the grand final is a fair point but she ran second to one of the best running around in Australia 2 weeks ago. I like it

 

[juggalo_strit]

I've gone with Purde.

I'm dirty I didn't take the 9's on Thursday...
