I’m sticking with O’Lonhro straight here but I won’t be taking odds on.

We all know by now that I am a big fan of O’Lonhro but I don’t let that influence my wallet.  Today I don’t have to as he will win this well.  Dropping back from WFA to the Quality handicap conditions makes him nearly unbeatable.  Rangirangdoo gets his chance to prove himself against an A grader here and looks the main, if only, danger.  Strat’s Flyer returned well after being freshened and while in career best form, he can place here. Ivory Pegasus probably won’t be suited by the pace here but her form behind Moti is strong and the stable is going full steam ahead to the Epsom with her. 

I’ll be backing Whobegotyou straight.  By that I mean I’ll be going straight to the back of the line to be first to collect.  I like the exacta with Heart Of Dreams too.  

I doubted Whobegotyou’s ability to sprint off a moderate pace last week but the blinkers has switched him right on.  This is the Cox Plate winner we are watching and he’ll win here too.  I was really taken with Heart Of Dreams run behind Vigor last start.  He is being trained a middle distance horse this time in and will be spot on today. Vigor was super last start after travelling wide and was still able to show real toughness at the end of the race to win. This is the litmus test for him today and he will have to run well to retain Caulfield Cup favouritism.  Zarita was a strong winner last start and the way she hit the line gave every indication she is up to this.  Don’t forget she was only 1.5L 4^th in last year’s Cox Plate.
