Very compressed market at the moment with 29 horse's between 5/2 and 20/1 on Tabtouch,but hopefully for favourite backers Tuscan Queen can do something that none of the fave's have done thus far in the Guineas, Railway and Winterbottom and that is at least run a place!
Tuscan Queen, Regal Power and Best Of Days heading up the bookies board.

Field should begin to take shape and hopefully market % come down from lofty heights.
Therein lies your problem Riders.
Value and TABtouch don’t go together ;))
Shapes as a genuinely intriguing race, many chances

VERY surprised that Bob has him in there. Would cop 30+ ratings points if won? Plus if he were to knock off Tuscan Queen....
Now am fairly conservative on these things, because so much can go wrong of course, but for that special breed of punter - the place punter - if Regal Power isn't the greatest place bet of all time, I'll walk to China!
Last time was that confident of a place special was when a kiwi horse by the name of Kaapstad Way ran in a Melbourne Cup with Damien Oliver aboard. Brew won the Cup and Kaapstad Way ran 4th :-< held out for third by Second Coming.
It's payback time! - Regal Power the drum.
comparing a class one horse and platoon is a bit different but i do get your point
Saw the race recently where Superstorm was narrowly beaten in the Bunbury maiden at about $1.20 and should've won, since broke the maiden status, but my goodness from that to a Group One Kingston Town Classic victory would be a ginormous effort.
So far it's been a successful big race carnival to bet around the fave's - ( still have to get the winner ) but for the brave punters who had something on War Saint or Regal Power or Hey Doc, I'd go to the well just one more time and take on the favourite again!
Similar to Trekking hold your nerve and lay! Will be interesting however just the same, will run fave but think much closer to $4 is about the right price.
Now if was a bettor 8-| and forced to have a bet on Tabtouch right now, I'd back two of them - Regal Power at $9, don't think will get any better odds, how could it ?
The other one would be backing now if had to bet - Kay Cee at $13.
Beaten in a Bunbury maiden a few sleeps ago, to winning a KT, and only 9/1, could win, but no can't back at those odds.
Best Of Days - not a great carnival for the royal blue, he's the hope of the team.
(CHI) :))

3/1 Tuscan Queen
11/2 Regal Power
8/1 Best Of Days
10/1 Kay Cee
12/1 Pacodali
14/1 Superstorm
14/1 Missisippi Delta
16/1 Gatting
20/1 Gallo Chop
20/1 Jerricho Missile
25/1 Star Exhibit
25/1 Platoon
25/1 Tally
25/1 Dig Deep
25/1 Achernar Star
40/1 The Velvet King
Bloody even bunch - The Velvet King from fave in a Railway to 40/1 , good barrier, soft run, rail leaders bias...ya never know. Achernar Star equal second rank outsider - their even alright, outside of the brilliance of the two faves.
3/1 is $4
11/2 - $6.50
8/1 - $9...and so on.
May have needed the hit out and can see improvement but a min of 25/1 needed.
Would be game to select any of the last three runners to finish - for first four punters it's a field job for 4th.
Whilst great to draw 2,3,4,5 have seen horse's get torrid passages from inside draws, checked early or held up, and seem them get teriffic runs from the outside barriers and slot in or a nice three wide cart up into the race, and swoop home. Seen vice versa too though!
Also that ride on Prince Turbo from gate 16 just fantastic from Paul Harvey.
Barrier 16 at the 1800 metre start did not stop Prince Turbo winning.
For all that of course give me 4,5,6 any day!
yes i get your point but a good ride from a bad barrier trumps a bad ride from a good barrier
Luck in running, a horse right on the day, and a great ride is the key - and that's whether they draw 1, 4, 6, 9, 14, or 16.
