Re: Melbouorne Cup Thread

All right, bet time:

C'est La Guerre - $5 ew on fixed odds ($21/$6)

18% of the trifecta on:

1st - C'est La Guerre; Nom Du Jeu; Zipping; Mad Rush
2nd - C'est La Guerre; Nom Du Jeu; Zipping; Mad Rush; Ice Chariot; Moatize
3rd - C'est La Guerre; Nom Du Jeu; Zipping; Mad Rush; Ice Chariot; Moatize

So I'm desperately hoping for:

1st - C'est La Guerre
2nd - Ice Chariot
3rd - Moatize

Re: Melbouorne Cup Thread

I'm liking Mad Rush & Zipping.

I too am skeptical about Septimus going the distance with all this hype. My history of picking winners in the Cup is dismal, so everyone should probably get on board Septimus....I still might include him in my trifecta pick on this basis lol.

But Jeba's write up has me pondering Cest La Guerre now. Good write up btw.

Re: Melbouorne Cup Thread

I still have Septimus on top but will include Nom Du Jeu, Mad Rush, Zipping, Littorio, Profound Beauty, Alessandro Volta, Barbaricus boxed 2nd and 3rd in a trifecta. This will all probably change in the morning lol.

I too would appreciate knowing Tony Brassell's selection ... I have quite a bit of money in my Betfair account that I can use to lay his selection icon_thumbs_u

Bahaha sweet, take the 3 with the best odds.

I've got $5 each way on Profound Beauty icon_thumbs_u and I've got a trannie in my pocket so I'll magically need to go to the toilet at approimately 2pm =P anyone willing to text me the place getters incase I'm doing important stuff in maths and can't get out?

Re: Melbouorne Cup Thread

Go Septimus!

I second that motion! Just got back from the TAB hope he keeps drifting!

 

[mrslong]

Re: Melbouorne Cup Thread

In the chaotic mess that was the TAB I forgot to get on mad Rush who is my favourite, so I may slip back down later, if not these are my picks:
Cest La Guerre & Profound Beuty to Place/Win (one for hubby one for me)
A sentimental Place bet on Zipping, an old fave of mine
and a couple of boxed trifectas (one for hubby one for me)
Nom Du Jeau, Mad Rush & Profound Beuty
Septimus, Cest La Guerre & Mad Rush

So that's my money down the drain for today.

Re: Melbouorne Cup Thread

If they pay last place you are a chance with Prize Lady!
