Dave I don't think so, as long as your fancy strides out nicely and looks good, regardless of time that is good enough for me. The one worry must be Vettel sweating up at 7:30 in the morning with a few hundred people on track, what will he do with 50,000 plus people and at 4:00 in the afternoon.

In the panel discussion garth puller said the times are false and not to pay any attention

Best of the gallops has to be the 2yr old filly from the Marshall yard.Is this a new star?

Was also impressed with the gallop of All Is Secret, drawn extremely wide on July Day (14/16), however the booking of Marcus speaks volumes. In her favour is the fact that the speed will be on from the get go and hopefully with her early speed, she can get across and slot in just behind the speedsters.

Gold Onyx and Jackson for me.

Who was it that said ''You drive for show and put for dough'' ... pretty much the same with the gallops and race day imo...

All is Secret is the only horse that Marcus Jooste has a share in the race. Anton Marcus is retained to Jooste and had to take the ride. :S

I like the form book more though i must say PJ, English Garden, Pomodoro and Jackson looked best -

Solo Traveller was the least impressive

Hell I was impressed with Dylan's Promise last win, for me when a horse comes back like that to win its a sign of class. Also think Valdivia is better than her last run, she is the one to beat imo...nicely draw as well.(tu)

asked my 3 yr old daughter last nite whihc horse she like for the july ? she says "daddy the white horsie" the only grey there is Ilah Bela , good choice form her.

GB i like Dylan Promise from its first runner, master tactician of pace on board this is a mega bet for me @ 20/1
