easy said:
I definately dont want to convince anyone of anything, and excuse me for butting in JB and 44
But here i go.
Alizee's first two runs in were effortless destructions, her 3rd run a real gut buster. Im a huge fan and backed her all campaign and 2 days ago thought she was the winner, but doubt crept in she was past her peak last start and guts got her home? May have had a toll? I also think bowman is in career worst form.
Happy Clapper would win comfortably at randwick, but is about as balanced on his melbourne leg as jack watts.
Hartnell could win. I cant really find a reason why he cant. Only 8 years and 59kg against 4 and 3 and 54kg. BUICK is flying 20,000 miles to ride him and hes astute as anyone
Only a fool would say Grunt cant win a flemington mile, but youde have to take him on trust, and i try my hardest not to do that these days. Means i rarely get a winner in double figures, but im ok with that.
I'll be surprised if these 5 dont trifecta it
That only leaves me with MJ. Im 100% behind leysys girl, only subject to her getting off the ferry in good shape. Ive heard people take horses on that ferry and they get pretty hot down below, but she went ok in the guineas and tassy trinder oozes professionalism to me.
Havnt seen her overseas wins but her melbourne wins were nothing short of extraordinary. The only thing they had in common was a building devastating final 400. She sat 3 wide around the valley then destroyed fundamentalist who the autum sun only nosed out. Then in the guineas she really didnt want to squeeze between horses but did it anyway because she is the next superstar.
I lied about not wanting to convince ewes of anything, and i hope leysys already on at >$4. Get on her.
Im very interested to hear others versions
My thoughts easy.
The way MJ ran through the line last start she's got to be very hard to beat. She gave Fundamentalist a beating in the Spring, and Fundamentalist got beat a pimple by The Autumn Sun last Saturday, that's damn good form!!!!
Happy Clapper had a gut buster last start, so not sure.
Hartnell should box seat from barrier two, i like him.
Grunt, is 3 from 3 at the distance, 2 from 2 at the track/distance, if he could run up to the form that beat a field of Kings will Dream, Kementari, Happy Clapper, Humidor and Black heart Bart in the Makybe Diva he'd be hard to beat.
Alizee, you cant beat winning form, but i like the 3 kg's MJ gets from her.
Amphitrite, couldn't see her turning the tables on MJ, but then you have the David Hayes factor, Boom Time winning the Caulfield Cup, Harlem the last two Australian cups. Hayes has got a bit of the Darren Weir's about him at times.
I've never backed MJ, so had better not start now, as i don't want to moz you and Leysy. Plus she's too short for a mug punter like myself
I'm going to back Hartnell, good luck everyone, and especially T44.
