Rough tips and other bets...

Friends horse (not so rough) running again this week, was initially set for the Metropolitan and ended up running third at $7 a place.

Hardly a roughy, (Sir Charles Road) but running again this weekend in the St leger, but probably worth a nudge, likely be paying around $15 I would have thought this week for the win. Was in great condition last week and if it gets a good run should go close.

Their other main horse, the Bostonian (they have a few), missed its chance to get into the Everest, but Manikato next up in a couple of weeks.. thankfully a place was all I needed last week for my multi based on Polly Grey.. Hooroo you champ.

@bayimports your friend has good horses

Tell me about it, hard keeping up with all their runners, but I generally get told about most of them. They did incredibly well on the now retired Mufasa.

Unlike most of us they do have a bit of cash too

Everest draw was interesting.

Pierata gets gate 1. Santa Ana Lane gets 2. Arcadia Queen gets 3.

What are the chances of the 3 favourites drawing the inside 3 barriers.

Redzel gets 7. While i don't think he can win, i will have money on him, because i can't fathom the thought of missing the 3rd of threepeat.

Not expected to be raining for a change.

What's your go?

I’m in the same boat re the 3 peat. The stable reckon he’s the best he’s ever been and mate of mine a stable hand there so will dig a bit deeper on it.

Not sure that the inside draw is great for those 3 and they may get shuffled back. May not be a major though as should be a heap of speed. Will have a good look tomorrow or Friday but a horse like sunlight or classique legend at a price could be worth a play. Stay tuned...

I got on Mer de Glace early for the Caulfield Cup. But now I've seen it drew gate 21!

My only early for caulfield cup was Mr Quickie to run a place at $8. Not super confident after last run

Didn’t know that Steve Hansen was one of the owners of nature strip.

Could be a big weekend for the fella

I've had a look at a few of the European runners' efforts on the videos. Constantinople is a great look at each way odds, judging by his 2nd at York in August over almost the same distance.

Any bends on that York track (or do that call it a course up there)?

Mirage Dancer.

First start in Aus, but record over the distance is 10:3-4-2. Gets a mid-gate, and at a price of $22 that i got this morning, I'm happy.

One "quirk" of the field, reckon it might be the first time i have seen Big Duke not the top weight. Poor bugger always carries the most, despite not winning since the St Ledger 2 years ago.

Yep (at least from my memory of the vid)

I’m still really liking Mr Quickie. Forgive last run. Distance suits. Light weight so should fly.

I have made a case for backing nearly every runner in The Everest, but have settled on Pierata. Dazzling sectionals in a soft 7 no less, awesome this time last year and the most important stat, it has pie in its name.

Mmmm pie

Is any one choosing The Chosen One?

[mariner4life]

That's some bullshit in the Everest

SAL with gate 5 wins by miles.

[mariner4life]

1st and 3rd!!!!!
