C.B. Cox Stakes
 

If BLACK TOM can win the C.B. Cox Stakes don't know how they'll beat him in the Perth Cup given he's more favourably weighted in the cup itself!

MASTER MINX and OUR GREY HALO look OK EW ;)

The winner of the C.B. Cox Stakes gets exemption into the Perth Cup right?

Last race at 6:20pm! WOAH, that is late!

grey matter wrap-up
 

Good day at Bunbury yesterday thanks to Strawb Knows saluting at 44/1+: La Fille Du Champ (unplaced), Royal Title (scr) and Strawb Knows (1st), Haka Star (unplaced), Our Nicola (unplaced), Smoke Bush and Miss Pavlinovich (both unplaced) and Eaton Money (unplaced).

Don't know for sure but would makes sense ;)

What a lovely price as well! One thing about backing greys - they're easy to spot throughout a race :lol:

BLACK TOM of course but also BON ARGENT EW.
