This a key form race for me.
I am liking both of them, even with weight rise for Dunaden.

wow, just heard they are expecting 120,000 to derby day - man that place will be jam packed. I hate going to the races when it's that full.
The weights in this gym just aren't heavy enough... would you mind sitting on my face while I do some crunches?
used to be a more confortable 50,000 decades ago before they went into luring everyone and anyone.
Just having a quick look at the form while at work, i will list what i like in each race, although this may change when i get more time to study the form
Race 1 -Al Aneed - Has G.Boss on board and came from a long way back last start over 1400 and hit the line hard so the 1600m should suit as well as the larger galloping track of Flemington
Race 2 - Gatewood with G.Boss on board as well could very well backup after winning the Geelong Cup last Weds, but also in the mix would be Excluded who was scratched from the Bendigo Cup yesterday to run in this and ran a good second to Shahwardi in the Herbert Power the other week, and Rueben Percival ran a good second to Vatuvai in the MV Cup which could be good form running into this race.
Race 3 - Dear Demi - Clearly the class runner in this field and stepping up from the 1600m last start when flew home from almost last to finish secodn to Commanding Jewel should suit.
Race 4 - I think Fire Thunderbolt meets Schnitzerland better at the weights and should be right in it as well as Schnitzerland but is 6 runs into a prep so will be interesting to see if it can hold form, other one i really like is Nechita
Race 5 - Ocean Park to continue on its winning way followed closely behind by Alchopop
Race 6 - Hard to go Past the form of It's a dundeel, only just beaten by Super Cool last start, should be a great battle between them again this race, but i think i will be having some money on Hvasstan who hit the line well winning the Norman Robinson over 2000m and should be at better odds
Race 7 - Not sure need to study form a little closer
Race 8 - tough tought race with maybe 6 chances i would think, I do like howmuchdoyouloveme after its first up win, but as i said many chances and would have to have a closer look
Race 9 - Dont really like anything in this race and will see if i have anything in the bank roll by this stage....
Cheal Sonnen "My phone rings, they call me up and say, 'Chael, your testosterone level is too high.' I say, 'Well, how high was it?' They say, '0.7.' I said, 'What's normal?' They say, '0.6.'; I said, 'One-tenth?! You're telling me I'm one-tenth higher than the average man? Re-test that! You must have caught me on a low day."
Yes, agree with a lot of that.
I will probably only bet on 4-5 races though. Probbaly start of with Gatewood and Excluded, and hope biggest price wins.
I'm thinking i'll put my money on a Horse... I hear they are faster than camels or elephants in these races?
Dont back odds on, so wont tip obvious favorite in McKinnon stakes.
Going for Gatewood and Excluded in race 2, Sizzling race 4 each way, and Pampelonne each way race 8.
Will have a few smallbets on longshots in three other races.
Good luck fellow punters.
What about Al Aneed in race 1. I'm putting a few bucks for the win (thanks Neddy)
For the Derby I'm going for Subiaso as a roughie at $17.00 and will also have a good look at Super Cool @ $6.00.
For Race 3 I like Zydeco at $2.70, which is a bit skinny but carry a few kilos less than Pumpa Cassidy's ride.
Race 5 I like Ocean Park but waay to skinny at $1.55, might have a crack at Oliver's ride Glass Harmonium at $13.00.
The weights in this gym just aren't heavy enough... would you mind sitting on my face while I do some crunches?
wouldn't you think Dunaden should be favourite for The Cup. Winner of the Caulfield Cup - a good indicator.
