Having seen the nominations for this race I believe we are looking at one of the most exciting races of the late summer/autumn.
Amelia's Reason - Grand Nirvana - Russell Road - Sheenasaidgrey - Zedamak
Should be a great race.
Looking at some past history on this race favorites have been dominant with no horse in the last 10 runnings winning at over $4.60. Barriers have also been a key with the last 8 winners coming from 5 or closer.

Think Claite will keep the Sheenasaidgrey ride.
But I'm going to have Sheenasaidgrey at the moment.
Anybody got some likely markets
Easter Stakes ??? Marasco /Uni Ruler
Perth Satks ??? Amelias /Grand Nirvana/Zeda Mak
read an article AR is some chance of being golden slipper bound if continues on his winning ways,would need to win this race and karakatta too(AND WIN WELL) to justify a trip and help in the funding of the 150K late entry fee...
Think the karakatta winner will be seen in this race barring some bad luck for the fancied runners.
What do you meen by RJ wont last long ???
Have you yourself raced a Rorys Jester b4 ???
Dont they train on from 2 yolds ???
Sammy The Bull and Local Legend are two WA horses that kept on racing well as older horses.
Think some might come of the fact AR was allowed to run, certainly didn't finish the race off like I thought he would. Did look a little proppy to me as Staeck got legged back on!
RJ's only good for a couple of runs as 2yo's, then they're done. Breed infamous for it !
