Cox - russian camelot
Everest - rothfire
Cup - pikes ride, forgot the name
As stated already i reckon Verry Elleegant can clean up this spring and as a result will skip the CC & avoid a penalty
CC-Russian Camelot
Cox-Verry Elleegant but give a big chance to the 3yo NP however.
Everest-nfi but here's a big speccy boys, Showmanship.
Cup-Verry Elleegant/Surprise Baby runs 2nd.
3 of my 4 predictions were wrong as two are going in different directions and 1 got injured.
I bet O'brien might be kicking himself he didnt go the CC route with Russian Camelot 2400 suits better than the Cox Plate to me anyway.
Changing my first 3 picks for these reasons :D
CC - Master Of Wine
Cox - Arcadia Queen
Everest - Bivouac, partly swayed by two jockeys almost declaring it and i also loved the way he smashed Gytrash 2nd up at Flemington in the Newmarket(one of the best 1200m wins of recent years).I'm already on at a Boosted $21/4.60.
Nature Meooww will NOT win.
I should have tried reverse psychology like with my Caulfield Cup tip...
Caulfield cup # Dalasan = drops massively in weight and huge last start with Pike on.
Everest # Nature Strip = 3rd up form gets me a little horny :D
Cox Plate # Arcadia Queen = Last run when the bar plates come off showed how good she is.
Melbourne Cup # Russian Camelot = Keep going back to his arrogant SA Derby win. I think he will get better the further he goes.
Also think Warning will love the 3200 of the cup at eachway odds
Just six have gone into a Caulfield Cup with a higher rating than 125-rated Anthony Van Dyck this century:
2008: 130 - Weekend Hussler - 12th
2011: 129 - Americain - 4th
2002: 128 - Northerly - WON
2019: 127 - Hartnell - 7th
2017: 126 - Humidor - 5th
2010: 126 - Shocking - 4th
Sky Heights was rated 125 when he carried 56.5kgs and won the Caulfield Cup in 1999. 125 raters (pre race) since then:
2000: Fairway - 3rd
2009: Predatory Pricer - 12th
2010: Alcopop - 11th
2015: Our Ivanhowe - 3rd
2015: Fame Game - 6th
2018: Best Solution - WON
Actually reckon the old boy Prince Of Arran can run a race he might be a query if it's too wet though too.
Only 2 horses are winning hopes in the Everest.
Bivouac and Classique Legend true story ^:)^

You dont need 3200m form prior to winning the Cup. Not many Melbourne Cup winners run in 3200m races before their Cup win

And how about giving her a bit more credit in carrying more weight to win than any mare in the last 50 years.
Pumping up internationals tyres and letting air out of our own, whose side are you on mate :D
