Whats everyones early picks?

Real Saga, Manhattan Rain.

Beadman will ride Real Saga.

Real Saga is my pick.

Whatever happened to Beadman on More Joyous?

I heard he trialled on both but is riding Real Saga.

Hmm, interesting to note.

Righto so Beadman's on More Joyous..

Real Saga doesnt have a lot of early speed so gets back and usually settles between midfield and the tail (the get back run on type, although run on is somewhat an understatement for him I tend to think) and More Joyous is an on pacer...

In a typically big slipper field I know which one I wanna be on, and thats Beadman and Waterhouse, although I'm not sure whether I'll be ton anything in the Slipper.

By the way has anyone seen the latest market?

Real Saga and More Joyous $3.60 equal favs (understandable) but Reward for Effort at $12?! I reckon its worth backing the 3 of them for the win, I'd be very very suprised if you didnt profit at all from doing that and I might do so myself because I'd be very suprised to see anything else win it.

Reward for Effort at the current $12.00 is well worth the eachway punt.
