I like a couple tomorrow, race 6 Jeanneau and race 9 Ravi each way. Backed them all up as well.

Jeanneau v unlucky last start, tiger. Bowman overlooked the ride in favour of the fourth horse (at 40/1). Jeanneau would have finished a lott closer with Bowman on. Newitt on tomorrow. Massive overs IMO. I'm on.

Ravi is well found. But in the race. Elite rider, in rare form.

Hartnell is a mutt. In one of the weakest Melbourne Cups I can remember. When it comes to Hartnell I am disappointed in the performance of the verb 'despise'. Gallante can get near it. As Gypsy rightly reminds us - hard track a problem.


More study, punters. The money will be ours.
 
I'm into Curren Mirotic this year. I think the trainer is a hot worker. The horse performs when it's supposed to, at odds. Skippies can be a bit blindsided by the Japanese trainers. The ones who've been out here work just as hot as Peter Moody.

There's no such thing as a bad barrier only a bad jockey. In this case we have T Berry. I'm a h8tr. But I think he only has to sit outside the leader on a 1:41 mile and the reel off 1:35 to win. CM is a bit soft but this is no Tenno Sho and he should be able to hold them off. And Japanese soft in a lot harder than English hard.

Bandages on Curren Mirotic so he's out the gate. But Berry says the horse is flying. If he jars up the sceptics were right. If he doesn't Osamu Hirata was throwing off. And they like to run time in Japan. Funny that. It's as if they think racehorses should be fast. (Theirs are.) So Curren Mirotic has form on concrete tracks.

This eight year old (the horse is eight. Ignore the press.) is the favourite. By virtue of the huge class drop. He would win any Sydney Cup by over ten lengths just by turning up. This is not much stronger than that.


Another hot worker Tony Martin has failed in one facet of his Melbourne Cup interdiction. The handicapper noticed Heartbreak City. That could prove fatal. But weak cup. Weak. He can win it. Joao will have to ride near other jockeys (eeeep!). But if he does Martin may pull off a coup. If Joao elects to keep clear of the Australian jockeys that will be two facets in which Martin has failed. (Should have got a Melbourne jockey.) This horse is dangerous to bookies. I like the balls of the stable. The Ebor is the Ebor but HC won it by a huge moral margin.


If you'd asked me about Jameka as a 3yo I'd have said she'd probs get two miles. I hope she does. She's just a bit underrated. She's not as good as Light Fingers but nor are any of her opponents.


I've got Beautiful Romance into the minor. Cleverly smuggled in. NB D Lane. Clever again.


Almoonqith has the perfect jockey for the way he has to be ridden. Walker can ride. There is intelligence around this runner. Shrewd judgement.

Curren Mirotic is only in the race so RV can get a piece of the turnover on the Japanese tote, which can only bet on foreign races that are G1 and have a Japanese runner. That said, on times, Curren Mirotic wins by five lengths easing down.

On class, st. He's a bit of a Tenno Sho plodder. Ergo WFA champion compared to Grand Marshall. I like the he contests the short races in his lead ups. (Out for the run but staying sharp.)

Gypsy swears he needs the cuddle. Tommy might struggle there. I think he can sit outside the lead, kick and do the job. Good luck, brother. We might be on the right one.
 
Disciplined punting is the key today. I'll probably only bet into half the races.

As with the Derby, I'll be having a bit on several runners: Big Orange, Curren Mirotic, Bondi Beach, Wicklow Brave, Qewy, with savers on Oceanographer and Almandin.

The rest, so far:
R1: Madeenatay is super quick but too short. Back it in the Slipper. Taken $6 the place for Broadband.
R2: Model Dragon
R10: Silent Sedition, Artistry

I've included Four Carat race 3 in my all ups and parlays.

Assign is 130/1 on Betfair but you won't get that on the tote because of the female rider after last year.

Jeepers... I had a nibble at this at $71. Robbed.

On Almoonqith as the main bet.

Always a tough one, and day, I reckon The Cup.

Of those with local form it's Almandin, Oceanographer and Exosphere for me. I don't trust Hartnell at two miles and have seen Jameka plug away enough over 2400 (CC excepted) to doubt she'll run a strong two miles. She'd also need to carry weight for a 4yo mare, and her pedigree is suspect.

Of the internats, Wicklow Brave and Heartbreak City look the most likely. Big Orange has decent form but he wouldn't have finished fifth last year without the fast rail and the carnage behind him. I don't understand the love for Bondi Beach either.

Almandin, Big Orange or Bondi Beach. Watch out for Qewy.

You *smile*ing beauty! ;D

well done fellas.

Hindsight is easy, and sour grapes are sour, but the handicapper won that race.

I suppose it is a handicap.

Jameka didnt stay.

I had Qewy for a place....just missed.

I much prefer Williams as a recluse.
