PINCHBECK
 

I see that PINCHBECK is set to race in the 5th at Bunbury tomorrow.

Should do well if he can replicate his run against Cubic Zirconia.
Spirit Of Calinup in the same race has a bit of ability and might go around at good odds.

Believe The Cat
 

You would have to think that Believe The Cat will break his maiden status in the 6th at Bunbury tomorrow.

All starts to-date at Belmont have been full of merit despite being listed in steward’s reports on all occasions.

Likely to start short but as an anchor in your multiples could come up with some good returns if some roughies can get up with him.

Cry Macrist
 

Tricky little race the last (Class 1) at Bunbury tomorrow.

At this stage just 7 to face the starter 4 of which resume from a spell.

Ex Territorian Cry Macrist might be worth a dabble. No luck last start when wide throughout. Checked severely when avoiding a fallen rider at the 600m the start before when fancied. And two prior starts at Belmont not beaten all that far.

My selection at Ascot Tues 01 Nov 2005 R5 #9 The Gray Bear ran nice 106 when leading throughout last time. Small field today means he gets soft run in front again. Other dangers are all mid/back markers. Harvey rides again. This time we will impose a mandatory $3 price as he is yet to prove himself in this grade. Probably won't get price but keep an eye on betfair. Happy Cup day!

And GO RAILINGS!!!! in the cup. I have him running at MASSIVE ODDS!
