The Waller team is getting boring with the will they/ wont they Aeliana into Melb Cup. Cry poor me to the handicapper about weight, still have every intention to run. Unless she fails badly, she will be there. Same story back with VE.
@Racing_Previews I thought they were waiting for a scan hence not announced. I reckon if they were not confident of getting Jmacthey would have put Moore on.
@GLoveJ81@braddavo How did they possibly have the worst of conditions? In our 1st innings it was flat as a tack and sun shining. SA no8 & no9 had both made 80 odd and we got rissoled for 98.
@nickheathcote Nah, I like the horse, and he is progressive. But gee it makes some of the form from Werribee look very, very good. If this thing of Joseph's wins Saturday like he could they will all over him and he is not a top seed either.
Point Of Law opens a can of worms for me. Excellent run yesterday, was so impressive. But I feel that some of the others at Werribee bring better form. Also the fact as a very young horse who has had his runs spaced at 34 days, 33 days, 22 Days, 104 Days (1/2)
@tmase04@AndrewNJHawkins@AndrewBensley@SENGiddyUp Any chance the next week or so we can updates on the final scans as they come to hand? I am unsure, as I am sure plenty of punters are, of who has had their final scan in Aus and who hasn't. Happy to run a list.
@JamesSmith69243@AndrewNJHawkins That's fair enough but she hasn't been within 4L of her Oaks win in her 6 starts since, even the G1 defeat at Adelaide. Surely they don't push on if she gets beat 10L again Saturday? Although I have never owned one that was in our great race, be a good day out in the good seats.
@Hawsface Is it stale form? Only 6 months ago he toweled up our best horses off the exact same set up and ran a rating most of these could dream of, Blind Raise by a derby winner, mare goes back to stamina blood, was right there after being pestered up front Guineas. Gets a cart now.
2026 Cox Plate, to tell you the truth the race this year feels a little underwhelming. No real mixture of form lines, a couple just having a pipe opener for the Cup. Would have taken $6.00 Warwoven, too short now. Alieana's Melb ratings hold her back. This seems a perfect 1/2.
@Rory_Flanagan You agree that there are others that bring similar strength of ratings into the race though? I am surprised those 3 were as dominant over the locals as they were. He also would have been pretty screwed down, initial target was Caulf Cup.
@SEvans1990 I prefer the euros to not have a run, not just check out the winners but those that have run a place. A horse like Marmelo was much better fresh than the year he had a run.
@tmase04 Champions Day actually looks like being Champions day this year. Would love to see the Cox Plate winner (whoever it is) back up again. Just need to get Sheza Alibi there as well.
