A mate carries on like a 2 bob watch trying to find something to beat SYT.
Wasn't falling for it Cox plate day and good luck to anyone trying to find that needle cup day.
Smokey! JB's other runner "Gotta watch the sneaky old fart"

[tiger101]

By going by form and everything So You Think is the clear favourite but you still got AMERICAIN and SHOCKING and couple others that could very well win.

[jackstar is back again]

having $$$$ on So You Think.
Like Royal Commands in Race 2.
Stirling Grove in race 5

[mightytiges]

If this was a sweep or I was going for a place just to be different I'd take the lightest weight Maluckyday.

[tiger101]

So You Think probly will take it out but Im betting against him.  I put a dollar on 6 others to win the race.
profound beauty $34.00
maluckyday $8.00
americain $14.00
precedence $23.00
descarado $13.00
Shocking $11.00

Hopefully going betting in numbers against the favourite pays off.

Some of the RFC boys have a runner in race 5 - I missed the name of the horse
Did anyone hear?
