Horrible barrier draws for the 2 favourites although i think this should increase Real Saga's chances as he prefers falling back in the field anyways.

I think Reward for Effort will go very close! He is my best outsider for the race.

Mate Rostova choked onher tounge, she clearly didnt let down properly in that race and still finished 5th or 6th.

Theres gonna be a fight for the first 6 places, wheras Real Saga will just sit back in a lovely trail and will be laughing. His only concern will be finding a way through or getting to the outside swiftly enough to make a charge. Watch earlier races and if the swoopers are getting up back Real Saga.

Hussler,

We seem to agree about Real Saga and disagree about Rostova.

I am sure it will be a cracking race regardless of who wins.

The closer it gets to the race, the more scared I am getting of Reward For Effort (I have had a handful of bets and doubles over the last couple of weeks on Real Saga).

Ive heard from the Moody stable that Headway has been wokring hard than Reward for Effort so keep him safe.

Another i like is Manhattan Rain i think he is very well prepared for this race and should go close.

Real Saga now the $3.70 clear favourite.

Great win by Phelan Read, very impressive wins by Headway and Manhattan Rain.

Real Saga 4th but had a great run late, i dont think the track conditions, barrier draw and size of field suited him.

What!? Triple dead heat? :P
