I'll be there and at this stage I'm certainly sticking with the ones I mentioned earlier in this thread. Won't get there this year. Next I hope. Of your 3, I particularly like Best Solution for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might like him even a bit more now though preferred at the 33/1 last week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three I said at the start have all been hammered. From high 40s-50s and two at 60s+, Now all under 20s. Best Solution is 3 G1's in a row I think. All just doing enough to win. The cup is looking like a great race to me. My top selection is still Muntahaa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Nice selection with Best Solution I can’t take him with 57.5 to win the cup Latrobe is nicely in with 52kgs as is Rostropovich with 51kg and Muntahaa 55.5kg is right on the max weight line for me Yucatan was impressive At 33 one would think Withold will have to win the Geelong Cup nicely weighted in the Melbourne Cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 The Geelong Cup looks a good race. Finche is highly regarded. May still be some attrition at the top. Some of them haven't been going that well. I'm not one to get hung up on weight. The Europeans are used to carrying bigger weights. I think Best Solution is a little short at current odds though. I think Yucatan is too short also. Be interesting to see whether they accept Rostropovich for the Cox Plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markets suggesting that is the plan which might mean he is doubtful for the MC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 He accepted but I think the plan is both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Sadly Withhold is out of the cup after bleeding from both nostrils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
