[fimmwolf]

8 MAD RUSH
10 VIEWED
18 PROFOUND BEAUTY
22 ALESSANDRO VOLTA

 

[Nyden]

heres a little extra for all my friends @ ASF

have something each way on Flemington Race 4 @ 12:30pm on

No.1 ILLUMINATES

It will Definately come a place and pay at least $2.50 - $3 the place and around $10 for a win....if it dosent win it will come 2nd but i cant see anything beating it...

it will storm home down the outside with 2 strides to their 1

Perhaps underlining it was overkill

 

[Ashsaege]

Ok here is my Boxed 4

Mad Rush
Moatize
Nom Du Jeu
Septimus

I also think Zipping could be in the finish.

ended up boxing 6... zipping and profound Beauty

Yipee! Go Bauer So close on the WIN bet as well though (what was it, an inch?!), would have cleaned up there. At least the PLA covered all the bets, as well as some winnings!

Oreilly was close to 3rd as well, darn :

What do you mean? Viewed paid much more!

... so much for Mad Rush & Septimus, can't be bothered looking for the eye-roll smiley

 

[Pommiegranite]

Another Bauer backer here. Pity I didn't know it's colours as I join the sweepstake last minute. Don't know whether to be happy or sad.

The bookies will be happy - especially Waterhouse
