Won't be surprised if Bart Cummings adds another one to his mantel this year...

Pop Rock for the Melbourne Cup.

Hoping for POP ROCK, or DELTA BLUES. Took advantage of that TAB promotion, and had $50 on Pop @ 26.00, and the same on Delta @ 61.00.
Pretty generous odds I thought....

Sometimes you gotta get in early to get the juicy odds. Calculated risk.

still sounds like a stab in the dark to me!

Not really, as those two fought it out lengths ahead of the rest last year. I know they are good, all they need to do now is get over here and do it again!!!
