4 group 1's, ripper fields and a good track expected.
I find the Championships moniker a bit wanky myself i've always called it Doncaster day.
So..who's punting on this quality racing?? and if you are fire in a tip or two aye!! :D
Future posts to come but initially ill kick off with what i consider my two best there.
R3) i was very impressed with She's So High last start at Flemington...Imo seemingly more impressive than Demerara was a week later on the same course and off a 4 week freshen up am assuming Price has her cherry ripe to run well.Need a good steer from Ollie as she is drawn just a little sticky but in the big field should get cover hopefully.Has good form finishing close up behind Shoals, Catchy and Booker so she has some quality about her no doubt.
Cummings may have been deflecting when he suggested Demerara was the one to watch of his runners on Saturday but she is a 5 time winner so i may have a quinella saver or just back SSH and save on Demerara.
R6) in the Sires i really like Oohood..blind freddy saw her cracking run in the slipper, up to 1400 suits and Purton steers again.With even luck i think she is a spesh.
Ok apologies on that 1st tip it turned out to be short story in length hope its relevant and close to accurate on the day!!
Happy punting.

Just a rough place chance but like that combination.

Take the $11 for the Oaks now before she wins tomorrow and ends up near fav
Tom Melbourne at $16/4 is worth a little eachway just for a laugh, jokes aside Humidor although carrying the top weight is the on top pick for me.

Also agree re Humidor blinkers on tomorrow he is the knockout 58 is quite ok if he puts on his best, superior animal to the stablemate for mine.Also Happy Clapper is right in it lately hasnt thrown in a bad run unlike the Weir pair can.

Redzel. Class above the rest. Got beat by a straight Flemington freak in Redkirk after looking the winner.
Kementari weight certainty. Avdulla should have got time for sitting up last start.
Seabrook great run in the slipper considering racing wide. Worth a few bucks in the sires.
Happy punting all. !!!! <:-P
Yep Mahogany that superstar who in later years used to smash them down the straight 5 at Flemington.Man i loved "the hog" still hurts the day Occy and that vvanker Dye :P beat him a head in the Cox Plate.
Redzel is short in the T J and he was all but home in the Lightning before being swamped by Redkirk Warrior. That horse then won the Newmarket.
Agree with @Thunderstruck about Oohood in the Sires. Gets HK's premier jockey to ride, too.
Think at least one of them will be there when the whips are cracking at the 200.

Ace High has to be a chance and been finishing off nicely, but has had 4 runs since the Victoria Derby win and been unplaced all four times. Could be a big game player though.
Two more roughies adding are Salsamor ( Zac Purton ) and Mission Hill ( Damien Lane ). Just know that sooner or later Zac Purton is going to get another Group One win in Australia and possibly at odds.

Yeh mate its a very open race indeed.
They both get back but should eat up the 1400. Just taking those two and one other at around 10/1 that could improve #2. Long Leaf. Also a bottler of a run in the Slipper rattling home late.

Somewhere along the line the wheel turned and the Australian Derby was no more, only to be found again in recent times, turning up in NSW.
Gee you're a hard task master. He rode one two weeks ago and went within a head of two. Meanwhile the 'other' HK jockey hasn't won here for over a year and 40 rides :-\"

It's a terrific meeting and right up there with the Melbourne Spring Carnival.
