    Frankie is having a great year, maybe he’ll add the Melbourne Cup with Master Of Reality.

    Pleased to see that there is some confidence with Youngstar, she’s best priced 28/1 and as low as 20/1
    now. That’s a decent shift from 50/1. I’ve added Twighlight Payment 45/1 (boosted from 40s at pp) 6
    places e/w and Master of Reality 25/1 on the nose. That will do for me. Strong coffee and matchsticks
    at the ready, good luck all :good:

    Yes; I noticed Youngstar was pretty blue on oddschecker. I can’t have any coffee as the dogs asleep in the kitchen…

    I have 3 against the field in this…

    Cross Counter 13/1 – WIN
    last years winner has it all to do this year carrying top weight but he will stay the distance and would like to see Will Buick win on him.

    Finche 8/1 – EW
    By Frankel, he has a big wide galloping action and ran well in the Caulfield Cup LTO, but not sure if he will stay the distance but will certainly come on for that run.

    MUSTAJEER 12/1 – EW *NAP*
    Winner of the Ebor at York and certain to stay and he will like the ground. Ex Sheikh Hamdam Al Maktoum horse who seems to have turned a corner lately and was unlucky in the Caulfield Cup LTO to be carried wide, making great progress at the finish. :good:

    Have also done a Rev Forecast Combi on these.

    Best of luck to those with the treble shot coffees staying awake to watch this but like Jack I’ll be catching up with the result in the morning.

    Moe, I see the 1st link I gave you on the ABC Grandstand station just seems to be music and chat,
    but in case you hadn’t tried the 2nd link I gave, it is giving all the racing live at the moment
    and will cover the cup. I’ll copy it here again ………..

    Thanks; for some reason my computer can’t get 927 [well, it does for a while but then it goes off] but my rubbish ipad which does very little and is difficult to charge up, has got 927 ok. I’m almost scared to breathe in case it turns itself off. Managed to get a coffee without waking the dog up so I’ve had my caffeine fix. And have added Twilight something as there was money going on it. I did well in the Cork Nash so I’ve got plenty of threepence ew’s to use!

    Moe if you can’t get the 927 station, I’ve found another chanel, and I’m enjoying
    listening to it as it is a guy Steve Price, it’s more of a chat and phone in, but
    it’s about the racing, and he confirmed we will hear the cup live on his show. The
    927 chanel is a bit boring to be honest as it is just going from one race to another
    at all the meetings and I know nothing about the other meetings. They were discussing
    on Steve’s show that there are a group of about 30 people outside the racecourse standing
    with placards up about horse racing being cruel. You might want to try this one, it’s a
    bit easier on the ear and you will hear the cup :good:

    Great run again by Prince of Arran, 3rd time lucky for him next year.
    Fingers crossed that Rostropovich will be ok after suffering fractured pelvis.
