Thrown a dart at Absurde 12-1 ew 5 places.
Trainer has said he is more mature this year. And 52.5kg looks ok.
Onesmoothoperator was quite impressive on his first outing Down Under and is also available at 12s.
Yes I saw that. Not altogether convinced if, after 37 races, he will beat everything in the Melbourne Cup though. And he will carry a penalty for that success, which may or may not get him in.
I know, Mike. But maybe he’s an improved and more mature horse at the age of six. Otherwise you’re right, he’s pretty much exposed.
As they say in the home TV shows OSO ticks lot boxes , needs pen to make sure he makes it in so will still get in light .His turn foot massive plus , he is close at the clocktower he will be the one quickening .
Big field experience a big help too. I dont like the Fav at all , looks a grinder , id put at least 12 ahead of him and can see him well out the top 10 .
Moonie Valley Gold Cup tomorrow night will sort a couple out , Francisco Guardi like Interpretation showing some signs of live again.I’m on Vauban in a treble with Grey Dawning for the king George and El Fabiolo the champion chase.
Willie has him much fitter for it this year and I’m convinced that wasn’t his true running last year. It can’t have been.
OSO got 1 kg pen , assured start and on 51kgs , Ellison deserves a good run as been unlucky in past and he is a massive chance now
I backed Absurde early for this at 50s as was really impressed with his run last season.
Added Jan Brueghel at 8s when he was touted for it.
The hot fav got injured in the OSO race as well, which I forgot to mention in my earlier post. Something to bear in mind.
You can confine my knowledge and interest in flat racing overall on a postage stamp but I’m really not seeing the love for this Elison horse.
Northumberland plate winners shouldn’t have a prayer in the Melbourne cup!
Couldn’t have had him personally but anytime the fav is taken out the race and you’re on another it can only be taken as a positive.
Couldn’t resist having a bet on BUCKAROO 11/2. Genuine, consistent oz group 1 performer with the magic man on board, it’s just whether he stays. If he does, he’s a mile better than the rest.
