I backed Hamada for this at 33s. Hes lightly raced and I think there is a lot more to come. 16s is quite short now, will back him again nearer the time
Good luck all
Hamada suffered an injury out in Australia and unfortunately had to be put down.
The four-year-old, who was prominent in the betting for the Melbourne Cup at a best-priced 16-1, fractured his near-hind fetlock during a routine piece of work.
“It was a freak accident and on the vet’s advice we did what was best for the horse,” said trainer Charlie Appleby.
“It’s very unfortunate, he had a bright future and a progressive profile. I was really looking forward to seeing him run.”The last eight of the Euro challengers are in the air

That is terrible news about Hamada.
Botchy, thank you for these updates, very helpful not just for me I’m sure.
I see Cross Counter has also picked up an injury, albeit not terrible by the sounds of things.
They’re dropping like flies.
Last shipment landed safely
Yucatan moves up to 24 from 55 in the list courtesy of a 2.5KG penalty for winning at the weekend.
Not sure whether he was ever a viable contender but Emotionless has suffered a pelvic stress fracture. Not going well for Godolphin. Fingers crossed he’ll be ok.

I am happy that Latrobe looks secure, but it looks like a fair sweat for me to see if Withold can get.
I think that even with a few dropping out, it is still a race to get excited about. The only challenge for me is trying to stay up.
Sorry guys. Count Octave is out as well
Please see below an update this morning in relation to Count Octave. pic.twitter.com/WnzFBXjMDH

I wonder if I’ll have my usual panic about not being able to receive Radio Sport 927 0n the night [it always happens and then someone rescues me with a link of some kind].

Also Best Solution escapes a penalty for his win at the weekend.
Thanks for that Botchy, I knew the assessor was considering his mark after his win,
but I didn’t know it had remained the same, I’m relieved about that. I should have
put a bit in this thread a while back, I backed Best Solution at 40/1 back in
August (posted in the Ante Post thread). I’m glad he seems to have settled in well
down under. No doubting that Yucatan won with a ton in hand in the Herbert Power
last week and will almost certainly get into the race with his weights rise, but I
think that Best Solution has a real shout hereCertainly got a big chance now BigG
Today’s order of entry. Plenty of changes to come this weekend no doubt.

I thought he would have been lamped with a rise- you’re on at a super price BigG- good luck
