Oh dear..... too many good horses here. 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!
