Tom Melbourne

Tally was a big run. Gave the first two 4kg and had a three wide trip. He was certainly entitled to fade late, but still only beaten 3.4L. Wonder if they press on with him. Don't think they've got him tactically right this prep, but he's a nice horse.

Tried to settle back but as you say sat three wide.  After being hunted in the CC which annoyed.

Dunno about that but if you watch the run-on in the replay you'll see Tom eventually catch him at about the 2200m mark iirc, well after Mcevoy had slipped out of overdrive. Tom did manage to crack 12sec for his last 200 so I suspect Boss' comment was coloured by the speed he saw Oceanographer coming when he looked over his shoulder in the straight. 

I like front runners. By far my favorite type of racehorse!

Very interesting. Maybe looking for Wet ground in Sydney?

Owner just said they are targeting the Metropolitan

Apparently he is hard to handle and they thought Waller might be able to get him firing

Either that or Waller is even more of a genius than we first thought. Thankfully he doesn't owe me nearly as much as he owes most. So I've got some courage left.

Has anyone followed me in?

Just can't do it.

I've had a side bet with a mate.
If he loses I'll give him $100, he wins I get $100

I'm confident he wins

Train wreck. Absolute certainty beaten. Travelled too well around the turn.

Yes, bolts in with any clear running. 

They just showed the trial onn r.com. Watched it closely during the week and can't believe I didn't back him. Made the in-form Flippant look second rate.
