Am a little concerned all is not right with Denmarket - nominated and failing to face the starter too many times recently

Dont you just love all this fuss and hullabaloo. MV cup always on his agenda - to get him cherry ripe for the big one. Meantime drifting, drifting, drifting – I like it!

Little joy Geraldton Sunday with Luna Mist (2nd), Halo Song (last), Anzafan (2nd) and Grey Feather (8th).

not an overly strong field agree with an earlier post Destinys Day would have to do well to have any chance in the Derby

dont mind Shotgun Saxon EW if wet otherwise Power of Destiny perhaps and if you like any of the south aussies - stick

and in the cup Brave Lancer and Southern Crown (value)

Not sure if more hullabaloo or not but it seems that the pontiff has publicly stated win or lose on Saturday, Plastered will not be fit enough to perform near or at his best in the Melbourne Cup and is concerned re Plastered’s welfare if they push on with a run!?
