Caufield Cup

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

Anyone got any thoughts or as professional punters do you avoid the big races due to field sizes etc. I stopped betting on the Melb cup a while ago when the o/s horses started arriving making, in my opinion, form lines a little harder to track.

well I backed Maldivian in a multi when @ $14 about a month ago if the cox/cup legs get up then the payout is $250+.

will probably not put any others on save my cash for the cup onslaught

MALdivian is a big name horse and looks the one to beat

[another grub]

look for one to sit off MALdivian and outsprint him on the line..... Have a saver Exacta..... Field/Maldivian

MALdivian is a big name horse and looks the one to beat

my MAiL is that it can get beaten- drawing the 1 is not the advantage some would think. Can get boxed in on the fence.
Big money for Eskimo Queen, I like something else in the race.

i think maldivian is hard to beat but if anyone can it will be eskimo queen. there my 2 horses for the cup.

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

I suppose I should have mentioned the nags I was leaning toward. Will keep Maldivian safe in multi's, also like Master O'Reilly and a roughie in Purple Moon(yeah I know it's an o/s horse and have already expressed reservations about them!), and Eskimo Queen also.

interesting race

Maldivian quite clearly the horse to beat, but doesnt mean it cant be beaten.

I think there are 2 roughies with really good chances in this.

apart from those Eskimo Queen looks a good chance to get the double with the Melbourne CUp

i liked the way master o'reilly won last saturday

[Thunder Down Under]

I will be taking a trifecta along the lines of 7/8/11/16 to win into 5/7/8/10/11/14/15/16 for a half unit.

Others that I like on the day are Vormista who just wins from No 13 the danger.

In Race 9 I will be having something eachway on No 16.

If you are keen on something in Race 4 its usually a form race for the Derby so check out TAB Fixed prices for that event and see if your horse has been nominated. Villain $4, Bammagera $6.50 and Jabal Tarik $10 are all live chances and will firm in the betting if go ok today.

for the record Ill be having something on Princess Coup and Scenic Shot
Ill also be laying MALdivian
