Melbourne Cup …. What Do Ya Think?

[Newmarket]

Well, here are my views…

1, Track will be pretty good, officials saying Soft6, i reckon better by Cup.

2, Half Yours, false 2nd fav for mine. Dont see it running the trip, Melham will be found wanting giving horse a good run, cant see it in first 6. 
 

3, We all know what the punting gods are like, think it runs 4th to avoid the TAB paying punter a big payout, saying that good luck to him. 
 

I think a horse winning in double figures…. good luck all

So you bagged two horses and a Jockey.  Not quite your best form.  So that leaves 22 horses for you to give us your selections from.

Didnt bag 2 horses…. said Half Yours false 2nd Fav, and said Buckaroo will finish just outside first 3, always the way when a punter has a good all up…. all been there Chief. As per normal, your hiding and not putting your hand up, shame really. 
 

Anyway, i have balls, i am confident the winner will come from below numbers, all paying good money. Mostly win bets, but will be covering other bet types with them….

Numbers- 3,6,8,9,10,16 & 17…. fill ya boots, gonna be a good day with some other winners sorted, predicting my best cup day ever.

personally, my PB has I think passed for that sort of thing! I peaked in the 80's,  having the privilege oF going on big rides with Kiwi and Empire Rose! It almost seemed easy
