Ok that time of the year again. i looked for this topic, but could not find it,so here we go.
Its that time were we all start snooping for crazy fixed odds prices,before they win a lead up race or put in a withering run and tighten up like a nun at the night club. I have not looked at international for as yet, as they seem to win these days. for whats its worth i have been closely watching this horse this prep and believe it will eat 3200m but barriers will decide a lot. Got $201 powered fixed odd the other day on this horse. So i was a happy fella. May not be a high profile horse reckon its sneaky chance. Laugh if you like but at the odds i got .Single Gaze. Is locked in . Let the Party Begin .Good luck everyone chasing the big bucks

Still betting $41 and $11 Single Gaze. Think would be rather on her eachway than either Ventura Storm or Bonneval especially at the odds.
Wasnt unhappy with Abbey Marie's run, she tracked wide to run on which wasnt the ideal place and although Marmelo almost ran her down for 6th she only finished 2.7l from the winner and looked fairly strong to the line.
Not much idea atm if they intend to go on to the cup(she looks to be around 27th on the o.o.e now so should get a place in the field)but at $67/17.50 ill probably have an ew spec at her..comparing a couple of rivals from today i dont reckon she should be $60 longer than Marmelo or $55 longer than Johannes Vermeer.

Some interesting ones are Red Cardinal , Wall Of Fire and Thomas Hobson.
The only three 'overs' on Tabtouch at this stage compared to some of the corps. are Max Dynamite , Abbey Marie and Single Gaze.

The list is endless...but if you like Max Dynamite , Abbey Marie or Single Gaze at least there competive prices. However Thunder...careful on Abbey she maybe a bit doubtful too. Not that have heard anything and $67 and $17.50 if gets to the barrier is a good price on today's run.

Can Boom Time run 3200m? His one attempt at the distance was 11thin the 2017 Sydney Cup.
3200m is the ultimate test for a WA horse....
Kerrin McEvoy has now been booked to ride...see link below for more details..

Abbey Marie now into $34 @ Riders!! I bloody missed the "overs" >:P
She is backing up in the Moonee Valley Cup this Sat.may be hard to beat winner exempt but I think she should make the 24 cut anyway.
Going to be brutality honest and say he won't finish in the first half of the field but that won't stop me having something on just in case the stars align again.
I'm starting to warm to one of the internationals if he comes in Rekindling. His win in the Curragh Cup was big, only getting out in the last 150m and having to duck and weave his way from last before that.
Was a good 4th in the St Leger Stakes as well, he will love the long Flemington straight too.
As for Boom Time...Id love to see him win the Cup but it will be difficult.
I have the stablemate Gallic Chieftain lengths ahead of Kellstorm
definitely not Melbourne Cup bound afaik...
The other two you guys like are very closely aligned in the OOE at appx41 and 43 and must win to make the cut.
Abbey Marie is inside 24th now just dont know if their going to start her.
Geelong Cup form will not hold up this year. Still living the dream the for Single Gaze, as the old Giant Killer . Be an Amazing race story if stars align .
