yeah id agree with that - however, only Jay Peg that i mentioned won G1s in South Africa but he won the Duty Free last year (albeit at 50-1) and proved it was no fluke by winning in Singapore.

As far as being world class? I think Vodka has proved herself and some would argue the same for Tuesday Joy.

Thanks, Brock... wasn't sure if he had in SA or not!

I just saw odds where he's 16/1... guess we'll know after the barrier draw tomorrow!

Vodka was Japan's HOY last year, she's quite legit. Archipenko has run huge in Dubai, Hong Kong and the US where he was a decent 2nd in the Arlington Million.
Niconero won 2 G1's inside 7 days in OZ in jan and Feb. One at under a mile the other at abt 10f. He's won 4 G1's.
Lady Marian won the Prix Vermeille (?) on the Arc undercard, but 9f might be short for her.
Jay Peg has G1's in Dubai and Asia for deKock.
Tuesday Joy is a 5x G1 winner in Sydney.
Creachadoir has run well in Europe and Asia in G1 racing.

Hyperbaric and Presvis may be a bit lower class but their best is very good. Presvis has won 2 at the Carnival and seems to like the course.


The top 7-8 in this field are very good and very legit "world class" horses.

I thought Vodka had a tough trip in her last... never had anywhere to run.
Of course Im not as smart as some others on this board. I need the PP's before I decide who I will bet.


Love the avatar, Brockguy. DRAMA!

Hot off the presses 4 days early --- "VODKA CRUSHES FIELD IN THE DUBAI DUTY FREE!!!"

If you don't agree with this prediction, I totally understand, however, this is my bet for the race, because this horse had no room in his last race for a good 300 meters down the stretch and was just crying for room!!!
Easy winner if he gets a clean run.

10 pik 3 Vodka
Quijano
Asiatic boy

5 pik 4 (if there is one) all

p.s. some people can come up with singles, they dont have to rely on picking 4 horses each race like some on this site.

Have to say I strongly fancy Archipenko and Vodka to do the business here. There should be a strong pace with Jay Peg and Gladitorious in the field but these guys are adaptable enough and should be positioned handily.

One to look out for on the US pmu could be Prevsis. He's a G1 winner waiting to happen and he's only 8-1 with Bookies over here. He will surely be much bigger over in the States.. 9f may be a tad short for him, as I see him being a 10-12f performer throughout the year, but he is such an exciting horse..

Russian Sage is in the Sheema Classic. Just thought I'd mention it.

Hyperbaric, I'm eternally grateful that you were able to lure T Baze away from SOCAL for even a few days (an example of God's bountiful mercy.)
