Not true.
Perth heat - first 2 (I'm Themightyquinn, Dasher VC)
Auckland heat - first 2 (Terror To Love, Sir LIncoln/Gold Ace)
Melbourne heat - first 3 (Smoken Up, Bitobliss, Carribean Blaster)
Sydney heat - first 4 (rort) (Excel Stride, Pub Blitz, Washakie, ... )
Sydney supplementary heat - first 2 (Mah Sish, Four Starzz Flash)
Wildcard - 1 (which will be the best credentialled horse that didn't qualify)
Only slight spanner is that Karloo Mick, in the Sydney heat, had has trainer disqualified effective immediately yesterday for 12 months.
They meet this morning to decide if Karloo Mik gets pulled and whether that heat drops from 4 to 3.
I do agree the whole thing is a bit of a circus
