Rumours this race will soon be reclassified as a groupVI which will no doubt ensure an influx of interstate raiders (apart from Why The Long Face)! Be there or be square!!

how you can leave Warning Tune out of your top 3 is beyond me WAOS :eek:

WTs last start York Cup performance would have to be far superior to that put in by Marooned Prince in the Carnarvon Cup and start before at Belmont equally impressive Got to be MAD to leave out of your calculations :rolleyes:

Ya need that mileage!!!

We all know you have to put in the mileage to win one of these big cups – KONTIKI SIR – need I say more :cool:

Six top trial runs from last eight starts!! That’s what I call mileage! Why wait for race days when you can trial as well. And past two runs in the city had to be seen to be believed. Definitely the one to beat in a very classy field!!

As I mentioned in my earlier post she is bred to be good with sire Fusaichi Pegasus winning a Kentucky Derby and dam Beaux Art winning a WATC Derby and WA Oaks.

A trip east wouldn't surprise me. Since Saturday's race has firmed from 100/1 to 50/1 for the Thousand Guineas and from 50/1 to 30/1 for the Crown Oaks.

The Oaks looks a good target, Imaginaire has a good turn of foot and is sure to stay all day.

Be very surprised if David Edwards is not contemplating taking Imaginaire to Melbourne as she has the potential to measure up to the Vics and others.

Have on good authority that Imaginaire accompanied by stable mate Destiny's Day landed in Melbourne earlier this week.

So what race/s are planned for Destiny's Day or just gone as travelling companion?

Main mission Vic Derby currently 40/1 EW WA fixed odds.

Chances of both (like a lot of early 3YO staying races) will depend on the depth of staying talent they encounter.

Imaginaire is bred to stay (as already mentioned on this thread a number of times).

Destiny's Day has run on well both starts and his last start win was full of merit, did not have the best of luck in running. His dad Montjeu won a lot group races between 1600m to 2400m including the French and Irish Derbies. So DD is also bred to stay.

Free At Last

Read a report that the future racing plan for Free At Last may change following her unplaced run in the Cranbourne Cup. Instead of staying in Melbourne in the hope she can qualify for the Melbourne Cup may now be heading back west to continue her current campaign on home soil
