$4.50 would have got me interested. $5 I would have been in.
Certainly not the "worst Grp 3 race in Australia I've seen".
7 Grp winners in the race. Bengali - Australasian Oaks winner who was beaten into second only a length by Treasure the Moment in the Grp 1 Vinery. Machine Gun Gracie - winner of both the WA Derby and Oaks. Philia won the Grp 2 The Roses at Doomben. Jennilala won the Grp 3 The Matron Stakes beating Wrote to Arataki. Too Darn Discreet won the Ethereal and the Manifold.
Mr Tiz even. If weight means anything has to be Gladiola’s big chance. As Black Caviar showed if they’re real champions weight won’t matter. Angel Capital another big finisher but doesn’t seem to get enough luck. Wodeton with the good guy jock and War Machine could bounce back into form. Fantastic race.
