Good sand field.

I fancy Sayadaw for Scott Kenny.

Also good luck Appie T Appie big opportunity hope he goes well.

Seems like every year there's at least one questionable entry - this year for me it's Comedy Caravan - maybe I'm just ill-informed, but is this horse really a 99?

Where is ryans a lion ?

Comedy Caravan 7 time winner..6 on the sand and has never missed a place on the surface,Fortune feels it is the best horse he has ridden on the sand and surely deserves a crack at the race.

MR 80 was not high enough

Titch i'm almost certain he ran to over a 90 last time . Then again that would not have been enough either !

art wish should be in the first 4 for sure.... (tu)

Sol I think he would have been a worthy contender it what appears a very "thin" field

SAYADAW's finish when 2nd to Ryan's A Lion was eye catching coming from an impossible position did get a hiding over 1200 the run b4 but for me looks the horse to beat

Sayadaw always gets going a little too late. I will prefer to go for a horse that races quite handy and then quickens......

@ Sol
I see now Ryans a Lion got 6 points for that last win and is in fact a 86 as you thought
