melbourne cup, page-9

1. i live 5 mins from the track - we had an inch sat night/sunday - not enough to worry the track too much.

2. its been a sunny windy day here - no doubt the track will be at least dead come tues morning.

3. if as expected its another sunny day, it will improve, but expect the newly laid inside to cut up, making it a swoopers track by cup time.

4. unless the leaders find a crown (a ridge of better going) down the middle of the track, expect the quality horses to come flying......the europeans (especially blue monday) and zipping & princess coup amongst others.

there ya go - theres my trifecta.
