Here we go again.


Very open this year. Just look at the betting

You could pick a dozen horses and not get a placegetter


24 horses in the race. Only 5 bred in Australia 3 of which are 4yo's

Most winners carry less than 55 kgs




For what it's worth I am backing

#16 Royal Empire
Best form in the race and Godolphin will eventually win one

#17 Voleuse De Coeurs
Two starts over 3200 metres for two wins, wins on all going, her young jockey is going to be a superstar, the chinkies paid a fortune for her, she has a 7 in her race number, her last 4 starts add up to 7 and she is $17 in the betting. Lucky 7 for the chinkies



Also taking numbers 4-7-8-10-16-17 crossed all ways in the trifecta (first 3 horses across the line in correct order)



Good luck all if you are having a bet
