Trump 2,741 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 I couldn't resist but would be interested in Cafer's opinions - only the sensible ones I've backed ATLANTICA each way at $51. Any chance? I couldn't resist the odds, which are way above his Derby quote and his last run I was impressed with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insider 3,961 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 A friend of mine is backing him as he thinks he’s a real chance. As we all know, he’s got a very astute trainer and his owners certainly know what they are doing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Athletica Trumpy....will be interested to see how he goes here, on the way to the Derby...... Won't want to get too far back in a big field, but would expect him to be hitting the line hard. Embellish the obvious, but think Ever Loyal will improve plenty this way round. Marcellina the real upsetter. Do you know anything about the Waller runner ? Form looks average in Oz but can't imagine he would bring him over just for the scenery, particularly with Bowman riding.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 Yes, Athletica! (Had a bit of Black Grape Society Grandmaster Pinot last night....). $51 was the attraction. I also like Kapoor and will have it in my multis including a chance to win. You're probably right about Embellish PFP but I am prepared to put a hot fave over 1600m at Ellerslie, to run 2nd or 3rd. I'll take him on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting re this thread topic that Scott Base and Athletica met on 16 Sept - Athletica won and Scottbase unlucky 3rd beaten one and half lengths. Was a heavy track. I liked the run of Scottbase down here behind Ever Loyal just before cup week - ran home really nicely that day. He's in the mix for me Memphis2 and Black Kirrama 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yir Tiz 223 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 I'm convinced the way she got going after Embelished smacked her she would have been at least 3rd, the head on is interesting though and hey its a million bucks and if she was yours would you not have a go?

Insider 3,961 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 I would love to see the head-on’s a number of times before I say too much, but initially I thought that if anyone was to go, it would have been Embellish! Having said that, Kapoor would have just about won with a interference free run. P.S.

Liz, Kapoor had the audacity to get going again and would have been close and then got taken out again, originally I thought it was SC that nhad done it but was Ever Loyal. Oh well go again next week Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his win down here I immediately backed him for yesterday and the Derby at 26's. (now in to 6's). And when the Derby is run in early March its quite possible there will be cut in the ground as has happened before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
