I think the key here is the weather, if it does rain as forecast, Septimus has a chance, but I still think the weight will stop him.
Surprisingly, of the Euros, I think Bauer has the best chance, he looked solid in his warm up race and looks to be thriving down under, he'll be a lovely price as well..
Mad Rush style will mean he will probably find traffic problems but he is way too short.
Honolulu is very interesting but he is drawn too wide and could be sent to the slaughter to aid Septimus..
Alessandro Volta is a big monkey of a horse, first time blinkers may help, but I doubt it.
Profound Beauty is by the dangerous Weld, but I would be shocked if she was good enough and she is a truly terrible price.
Of the others, Zipping and Master O'Reilly have the class and pace to be there of thereabouts at the end. But the Kiwis look to have a few Aces as well..
Bauer / Zipping / Master O'Reilly
