Bullish Steel Prince can test these today, last two runs were terrific lead and importantly is 4th up today should be in the finish.
A spec horse in the Classic is Wisaka at big odds, may be out of his depth but will relish every bit of the 2200 and Moroney trains, is worth an e.w dabble I reckon.

Hey bookielover read a good piece on a former bookie Victorian Graham Sampieri, think it was Graham, his son talking about the old days and the incredible massive amounts of cash you blokes use to carry!
This horse as we know beat Surprise Baby last year fair and square and for its cup prep I reckon they were a run or half a run short yet only got beaten just over 2L.
Not saying he can win it but he is not hopeless either and seemingly gets the trip based on last year's run.
True story...going back abit think it was final trio of Makybe Diva's Cup wins...anyway a fellow at the tab about three or four months before the Cup began to back a horse eachway by the name of Leica Falcon...500/1 to begin with...yep good on ya...forget about it I said...then he's backed it at 400/1, 250/1 after it won a weak race, then it's won again goes into bat again at 150/1, told him throw the tickets away, it's got zero chance, through the classes with a picket fence of wins it goes.
Then it might have won the Herbert Power, or a race like that, I'm watching now...anyway come Cup day, it's far from the roughest, it's a live hope, can never forget saying to him before the Cup was about to jump...good luck...just hope doesn't run 4th...and of course the rest is history.
