TAS takes a while to wind up, may not have the tactical speed/cornering ability for Moonee Valley. Much better at Flemington, imo. Confirmed - next start for TAS is the Cox Plate.

If he can handle the track he would have to be a chance. Oddly enough I had a dream last night where Hartnell won the plate at any old odds....It could be that kind of year, Fields of Omagh etc. Or not.

However, I actually took a $1 Multi on every possible combination of Wins or Places in each of the 4 races... so spent the princely sum of $16. The maximum collect will be $14,435 if they all Win down to the smallest collect of $126 if they all run a Place. Just hope that TAS gets a run in the Cox Plate.

Steel Prince connections had since May to relax and plot Cup path knowing they are in if that injury clears up after Saturday , Surprise Baby have a month to plot path, Prince of Aaron connections nuts in a vice trying to decide best why in , like Withold last year .They wanted to seriously go for it they should have planned to race at Caulfield last week and beat COGH and get the exemption . I do hope it gets in by fair means though and gets to have a go , but I agree I'd fancy it more at Flemington . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
