Who are you guys tipping?

I've gone for

6. Eye Popper
22. Leica Falcon
7. Railings

I would like to see the Diva win but it's going to be hard with 58kg and a dry firm track :(.

I have the following 3 horse in the cup sweep at work:

17
18

Who ever they are ;D

I am tipping

the Diva if they don't scratch her - which I think they will now it's going to be 31 degrees
 But if they do...

7- Railings
23 - Mr Celebrity
4 - Greys Inn because it's in the Tiger Colours  :rollin

I'm backing no6 Eye Popper.
If there was a Toe Curler I'd back that too. 8)

I too am backing Railings as i got on it in the Caulfield Cup and am following it through.

The firm track is also bound to suit a horse like Leica Falcon also.

I currently have a key boxed trifecta on which includes:

To run 1st,2nd or 3rd

Makybe Diva, Railings, Eye Popper, Leica Falcon and Portland Singa

To run 2nd or 3rd

Vinnie Roe and Demerger

To run 3rd

Xcellent, Umbula and Strasborg

This cost $120 for a half unit(50 cents) and it give you 240 possible combinations for the trifecta.

I have thrown in 2 roughies for third in Umbula and Strasborg. Generally one pops up and these 2 horses are stayers who should be running out the trip.

Fingers crossed ;)

Don't be suprised if no.5 Franklin Gardens sneaks in for a place!

I always look for value with my cup bets!

Also for anyone betting early, Flemington Race 3 No.2 (11:45am) Southern Crown is definetly worth having some dollars on him, currently $19!

I am praying for Leica Falcon. Took 80-1 about it 6 weeks ago.
Best roughly is last years Brisbane cup winner Portland Singa. ;)

How good is the mighty Diva?

Huge effort to get up again. Big run from On a Juene also, flashed home and nearly knocked it off.
