Come on fella's, who's your tip?

1. Viewed - Is travelling better this year than last and this years Cup is much weaker. Weith doesn't seem to be a problem and a nice 3rd on the weekend whithout raising a sweat.
2. Alcopop - Don't like the fact he hasn't had a run leading in but his form has been outstanding. Stamped by Shocking's good results after being belted by Alcopop.
3. Master O'Reilly - Normally I think that horses that have failed in the cup will fail again but he seems to have matured into a 2 miler. Been running on well.
4. Cest Le Guerre - Likes it wet but I rememebr how bad Effecient was going before he won the cup in 07 so you never know what Lloyd is doing. A talented gallopper and the trip won't find him out. Overs at 30-1.
5. Leica Ding - Could be a 2 miler, if he is he will be right in this as most of them aren't.

Put a line throught the Invaders as none of them have performed well in a lead up run like past invading winners. I don't think Roman Emperor will get 3200, Newports run on the weekend looked great but it was aginst alot of horses who were just having a gallop so i don't think he is a chance.

Nice run down mate. One thing to keep in mind with Viewed is that it is carrying 5kg's more than last year. That is significant.

I am very interested in your last three selections there. I almost put a line through Cest Le Guerre straight away, as you say the form has been less than stella lately.

Master O'Reilly hasn't won for two years, so there must be a query there.

I reckon you are getting unders with Leica Ding soley due to its recent win.

No idea. A bunch of horses running (pretty slowly until a few hundred metres to go) does nothing for me. I'm still amazed some of us get the day off

The big question is....will Peter Hoare the serial pest make an appearance :??

unlike you lucky blokes in Melbourne I have to use a hard earned annual leave day tomorrow :x

You're in SA? Didn't you guys get some BS Labour Day recently? I bet you're not even pregnant

Sydney mate and I thought the long weekend was simply for the NRL Grand Final

Oh it must be Toppity that's from Adelaide (city of churches / poofta bashing / gruseome murders )

nope, toppo is a Melbourne man like yourself. I believe robinson and madball are from Adelaide.

He must be alright then

A lot of people have today off as well as tomorrow. No cars on the road here, it's like new year's day. I was supposed to work but couldn't be bothered so have allocated myself a bludge day. The boss lives in Adelaide (he's probably doing a spot of poofta bashing as we speak) so he'll be none the wiser

Yeah most will put a line through Cest Le Guerre as I did to efficient in 07 but Lloyd's only hope this year is Cest Le Guerre so I think it will be firing.

There is probably 15 horses you can put a line through this year, I personally will be leaving the following out of all me bets (inc first 4)
Fiumacino - wont be wet enough
Mourilyn - Import that hasn't performed in Aus before
Crime Scene - Import that has perform very badly is Aus
Zavite - Is just there as a pacemaker for viewed and roman emperor - Anthony's a good son to bart
Warringah - Import that hasn't performed in Aus before
Gallions Reach - Import that has perform very badly is Aus
Spin Around - Ooutclassed here
Basalitico - Import that has perform badly is Aus
Allez Wonder - I tipped it when it won the Toorak at 60's but this is too far even with Bart
Changingoftheguard - Import that hasn't performed in Aus before

Good luck whatever you back and remember 1 thing - weight does not stop good horses. Makybe was a mare and carried more the weight so Viewed should have no problem.

TIP - Box No's 1,2,4,11,23 IN THE TRI. (No guarantees )

Sorry for the WAR and Peace novel. I am at work and a little bored.

Hoping UniTab had upgraded its server. It was hopeless last year - slow as hell & down a few times. Couldn't place a bet numerous times Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Crime Scene at big odds.

I hear that internet criminals in europe have been jamming big aussie betting agencies servers, they got sportingbet a couple months back. no cash demands were made but they think it was a trial run for a bigger trading day. Tomorrow will be a big target for them I would think. Obviously I have no idea if that is true.

Daffodil

sportsbets server shat itself. luckily i already placed my bets (which turned out to be a total fcuking waste of time anyway)

ever had a bet. Could not get interested.

Bloody oath mate.

Had 20 on a place for the Mourilyn, $160 for that win, Although I bet over $100 so I didnt win much.

Did not have a bet. Too much happening at home, could not get interested.

On the day of the race I had to take my 86 year old mother-in-law for a medical appointment. My wife and I baby sit our granddaughter 5 days a week while our daughter goes to work (like most married couples in their thirties she and her husband are buying their house and need both wages to pay for it). I have enough to do without trying to work out which hayburner can carry a midget 3200 metres fast.
