Only local hope is Rain Gauge...

I think the imports may run the first 5 or 6...

Well i reckon if Henry got 2000m start on them he might be a good thing...Gooooooooo Henry!!!

Well the Melbourne Cup only has 24 horses that run. So therefore you have to eliminate 16 horses including Northerly.

Rain Gauge has a good chance of winning. Keep your eyes for County Tyrone who is unheralded but proven at the distance.

I dont think the internationals will all finish in the top 6.

I will go against the grain of thought and stick with the locals.

We missed 2002 but theres always 2003

The question i have to ask is has anyone actually seen Pugin run ?? I think not at this stage everyone is basing it on one great run to Vinnie Roe. I too am guilty of that myself however before i will be backing it i will be sure to get a copy of its race or surely sky channel will show it prior to melb cup.

Hey Clokey, With Northerly out, MAGUIRE may yet be No. 8 !!

My trifecta will be 2, 8 and 20. (and 2, 6 and 8 for Rowdy.)

Good luck everyone !!

Hey m8, what does it cost to box 8 numbers ? A lot. I guess you took a flexi.

I certainly don't live my life by it but numeralogically the number for tomorrow is 11 so a box of 2, 11 and 20 is the way to go for those who do. Lol.

Naturally I had a bit each way on #8. If it wins I'll be happy to accept the reduced divi resulting from Magpie bets !!
