    Onya Dex, you been watching on bin nights right?

    As for the race. It's wide open. Any of the horses mentione above have a shout. The best two in the race are Dunaden and Americain, but with half the grandstand on each of their backs, they have the job ahead. Pundits are saying that this is the hardest race we've had in years, and maybe it is, but I don't think it has the class of last year. If so, then this brings the top two in with a better chance than normal years.

    The race usually can be relied upon when it comes to very good horses putting in a really nice run for two or three years in a row. Again it lets the top two in, as well as Red Cadeaux, Maluckyday and Niwot. If I have to chop it down, then I can't split Dunaden and Red Cadeaux.

    Bad form Bustino!

    <laugh> Cyc...Looks wide open as you say....I'm a bit stumped tbh...30 mins to come to a conclusion...AS,like you,has had a word for RC but his price is tight even though he is a proven global traveller.

    I sense a boil over!!

    Americain does look great though.
    US horses don't seem to go all that well in this race.

    I think the Cumani second string, My Quest For Peace might run a bold race at a very nice price.
