Agreed GB, he can be beaten after all it's racing so surprises are common but lets be honest if you watch a replay of that race MOMF hung in badly and still won going away under a double hand full... let's say MOMF didn't hang and was put under a ride it can be argued that he would have won by 8-10 lengths, MOMF still improving with each run and is lightly raced but as you mentioned above there are cases for each runner... IMO MOMF will demolish this field.

Sorry but see too much value in Money Surger. 2/1 for a place looks delicious.

Also a small bet on Do you remember and Yorker. Woody will not take his horses up for nothing and he is due a few big ones.

Agreed that Woodruff wouldn't take horses for nothing but the owners have outlayed some big money on some of his horses and especially Yorker with a 1.8m price tag I'm sure the guys with the cheque books back at home want their horses running in feature races.

For what it's worth, my horse Ethemba is as well as ever. We have been battling to figure out her correct distance. But we are expecting a win here.

I agree, although I am a little biased!!

The price on Yorker is ridiculous. Crazy to not have a bet at that price. Quietly confident of a good run.

The run behind Pure Power on the 26th Jan 13 was fantastic from third last, she finished like a rocket and if she reproduces that first run it could all be over come the last 50m.

OK this will be easier to read.
Missing years aren't really - the date is Dec or Jan. Only 2003? Can't recall what happened there - flu?
