Two Kiwis - Jon Snow & Nights Watch.
Thirteen internationals.
Of the five Anzacs give Ace High & Youngstar winning chances.
Nights Watch a reasonable rough place hope.
Jon Snow happy to leave out, but not hopeless.
Mighty Boss - zero chance.

Nights Watch had his first four starts in the land of the long white cloud - so happy to call him a Kiwi.
He described Ace High's track work the other day as "casual and lazy".
Ace High was clearly outshone in the gallop by the Mick Price trained 100/1 hope Mighty Boss.
Goodness gracious..now they tell me #-o
The good news is...no prizmoney paid in track work.
1. Ace High.
2. Youngstar.
Then something on three international invaders at a price...Chestnut Coat, Durreto, Red Verdon.
Only about seven of them don't think can win, it's extremely open so good luck everyone.
***edit ok it's spelling. I think i recall David Payne saying post race that the Autumn may be a better option.

Ace High got smashed up in trackwork by that guineas fluker Mighty Boss but Payne is saying chillax he works crapola races like a star..fair amount of evidence he does race super well, very good chance if all is well(and ollie is due another CC)and agree with you guys we can't deny KWD surely he runs well...has been getting knocked for just slightly fading to Winx and Youngstar, he will beat that mare tomoz! 2400 very suitable with just 53 kgs.
The top weight Best Solution now into $12.
Ventura Storm right into a very skinny $20.
The Taj Mahal at around $17 has been rock solid and kept safe despite barrier 19. Does have team Williams and J.McDonald to navigate but a win would surprise me.
The big drifter has been Nights Watch right out to $19. Hasn't stopped blowing out the gate.
A lot of these always finish up a better price on the day when market % comes down. The tote on many horses also will be better in comparison to fixed.
Ace High record on the soft/heavy is poor :-<
5 starts on the slow/heavy for zilch.
Records are there to be broken.
Quite a few in the race go quite well in the slow range and horses like Youngstar, Nights Watch, Kings Will Dream and Jon Snow really lap it up.
I’ll be backing Night’s Watch EW with the way the track is. Made a hefty amount on Boom Time last year so let’s hope my dart lands again :))
GL all :-c
Ace High out to $13.
Red Verdon been specked all the way and into $17.
Chestnut Coat no wet track form and out to $26.
Jon Snow in from $51 to $31.
Half a million dollars already in the tote win pool and mirrors well to fixed odds.
Homesman much better on tote and the rest fairly similar to fixed.

Good effort Cliffy @Thunderstruck thought was a possible winner at one stage to claim the other two. Team Williams 2nd. 3rd. and 5th. Are involved in ownership of Cliffsofmoher.
Big run Taj Of Mahal too, McDonald took off before acceptances, died on the run but had to, still held 5th.
After the bungle from jumping was a bit too far out of his ground but finished off well.
Youngstar was first Anzac horse home in seventh place.
Youngstar - 7th.
Ace High - 15th.
Nights Watch - 16th.
Mighty Boss - 17th.
Jon Snow - 18th.
No explanation needed.
Not unhappy with Cliffs @riders unsure how he will fair at 3200 though..did peak on his run a bit..

Might as well throw your tickets to the wind when that happens. Finished last - funny that.
#Sport of Kings or #Winners are grinners.

He's $34 on Sportsbet.
He's $17 on Tabtouch.
@Jell and thunderstruck if you want a good chuckle compare Tabtouch odds to those other two bookies on the Cup. Horse for horse. Perhaps one or two are reasonable but not many!
Ace High $31 Tabtouch and $51 available.
Patrick Erin $41 and lots of $101 around.
Who Shot The Barman $51 and you can get $151.
The fancied runners most of them are a point to ten points under too.
