The big one looms, one week away.

I backed All the good in the Caulfield and at $12 have reinvested some on it in the Melbourne,it doesn't owe me anything so why not?

Had a little on Master O Reilly in the Caulfield Cup, not a bad run in The Plate considering so have taken the 30's today.

I like the cups king to get another with Viewed which is a bit skinnier than I thought it would be at 26/1

i do like cest' la guerre. with all this hype of how an international horse will win, i think it might be an international from a bit closer to home than suspected.
profound beauty might be worth a few quid too.

what about littorio? was vying for favouritism at $6.50 a few weeks back & hasn't exactly put in a poor run, but everyone is plunging on the international horses.
looks a bit dour, and might need the whole of the straight at flemington to wind up, but at $18.....

Kav was a pretty big wrap for it on Dumb and Dumber last night, said he saw it not long after the Caulfield had been run and reckons it's get more in it.

Im a bit the other way this year, reckon something 12/1 and under will get the choccies, hope I'm wrong because I never back anything on the shorter side in the Cup.

Got Zipping on fixed odds at 17 for the win and 4.75 for the place.
gets a good start. look out, has had a good build up. John Sadler is a very good and underated trainer.
i do feel sorry For the Weekend Hustler though

I've got Zipping fixed at $41 so I'd be happy with that

Showers forecast for next Tuesday (last I looked anyway) could further help the European GG's that already claim high billing.
Be interested to see Littorio's run this Saturday.

I dont think you can go past Septimus, this horse is all class and proven at the journey in group races.
The more you put on the more you get back
