I'll be rooting for half the field (well, ten of the 13  ) and although I've waited for Apache Cat to have a great win i doubt this will be it. Good luck Lad and RTW, FOO and Apaaaaaaache Cat, Honor and Grey Swallow, and to the divine Miss Finland who i think will win and show the boys.  Who do you all like?

I agree about Miss Finland, if you factor in her ability and that tiny weight she'll be incredibly hard to beat if she can run the 2040. She's my pick to win, and I'm hoping Grey Swallow will go well and run a place.

Fascinating to see Gai Waterhouse giving the leg up to King Kieren. Aqua d'Amore probably has a bit to find to win, but will certainly get maximum assistance from the saddle. Fallon will ride those Oz jocks silly!

what am I missing?
Grey Swallow ran really well in the States this year. hes been there for a while preparing for this race and seems to me to have a signficant class edge. and im getting a decent price. that Pompei horse scares me a little, but I bet Grey Swallow at shorter prices against better horses in the past. i will take the 6-1 I just got. maybe Im wrong and I just underestimate Australian racing. but if he runs anywhere close to the race he did in the Manhattan, i think he wins.

FOO wins by a nose in his last racecourse appearance. What a story, and what a grand old boy he is! Racing to Win didn't stay, Grey Swallow was taken out of the gate by the vet to have a look; he was allowed to start but while he looked to be making a move before the last turn, he stopped and dropped out to last and stayed there.
