I reckon there will be a push for the white filly (colour, breeding, high profile stable) but Ruski could be the better placed.  

Another interesting arrival is the Japanese bred Fierce Impact who was a Randwick winner at his second Australian start back in May and who resumed with a strong finishing second at Rosehill.  They have taken the stallion chain off him suggesting he may be a more settled beast this time around. He is trained by Matthew Smith who gets most of his winners in the bush.  No rider engaged yet. 

Fastnet Tempest accepts at both Caulfield and Randwick, Williams engaged for Caulfield, McEvoy for Randwick.  The horse has a slow track win but is 5/16 on Good tracks.  The races are worth much the same money.  Not sure where they will go.  Caulfield ?   Randwick is likely to be borderline heavy.

Very true.  The last do so was Cole Diesel in 1989 (Leilani, Galilee & Tobin Bronze before that, and others further back).  

It is an outstanding meeting, but then it always has been and it has changed very little over the years.  Obviously bringing the 1000 Guineas back to Guineas day has been a major recent change otherwise the card has been remarkably traditional.

I would go so far to say that it clearly rivals Derby day from the racing aspect.  The only thing it lacks is a Group 1 sprint.

Spot on.  The Coongy used to be on the same Wednesday meeting also.

Meets Shillelagh 1.5kgs worse than in the Epsom. She finished with a wet sail.

But my dollars would go with Hartnell as well.

The Caul Stakes is a ripper. Race of the season so far.

Pick that winner one out and you are doing well.

I'll be following all his horses with intent. Should get some good odds to with a few of them.

I've smashed these 2 as they both looked great in what I've seen on their trials. Horror draw for UTZON but horse does have some serious ability.

WEDGETAIL will no doubt be better over further but I've heard that this colt is very forward and if they go crazy, which it looks like they will, he can certainly come over the top of them.

VOODOO LAD looks bet of the day. Got $5 boosted odds, that'll do me nicely!

Got the early $21 for GEM SONG in the Guineas. If the fav or NATIVE SOLDIER are vulnerable at the mile then I think GEM SONG is the one that's way overs and looks ready to run a cracker. I'm very surprised to see $20 for TAVISAN??? Did it lose a leg or something? And I've got a heap of multis into OOHOOD who I really like. I can't jump in at $1.90 for THE AUTUMN SUN tho. That's way too short imo. Think you should be getting closer to $3 than $2. Looks a great race tho and I'm keen to take on the fav. Some very good value elsewhere, just need to get that multi crackin!~

What a great race the last is to have a bet in. Looks to be 6-1 the field! I'll be saving on both of Weir's runners but very keen to have a decent crack at LORD FANDANGO here. He was pretty good 1st up carrying 60kegs in the Benalla Cup to go down 1/2 length. He actually won the previous years' Benalla Cup 2nd up and then won this very race 3rd up, over 2400m. So he looks to have come back well and I'm hoping he peaks 3rd up, like he did a couple of preps ago, and wins this years Caulfield Cup! At $10, he's my best each way all day. Giddy up!

I went and had a look at the trials and Utzon was very impressive.  Ruski was encouraged to win her trial but Utzon was under a hold and looked very tractable.  Good gate speed too, which she will need from the wide gate.

besides, I love an omen bet
