Thanks for posting the PPs and info Dell. Lightly-raced 3yo #21- Tiger Moth (5-1) (Galileo) looks to go off favored. Second to Santiago in the Irish Derby, then won a GIII prep easily going 12F. Easy to like, hard to take a short price in this from PP23. Local favorite seems to be #13- Surprise Baby (7-1) (PP7), fifth in this last year but not showing too much this season. A few that I like in no particular order are #6- Twilight Payment (25-1) (PP12), #15- Russian Camelot (12-1) (PP16), and #12- Prince of Arran (9-1) (PP1). I'd really like #18- Ashrun (18-1) (PP24) trained by Andreas Wohler, but he drew widest of all. Most solid choice would probably be #5- Sir Dragonet (8-1) (PP14), won the Cox Plate (GI, 10F) prepping for this, but you'd have to be confident that he can get 16F. Two you could bet as bombers would be #9- Stratum Albion (28-1) (PP9), trained by Willie Mullins, and #16- Steel Prince (33-1) (PP21), which also drew very wide. EXBOX- 6,9,12,15,18 WIN- 5 PL- 9,16 Always a great spectacle of a race to watch. Might have to catch a power nap before 11PM. Good luck if you play. www.racingpost.com/racecards/297/flemington/2020-11-03/770995/TW

Nice call on twilight payment TW.
I ended up with a small wps on Etah James since my dad just adopted a widowed pooch by that name. Got pretty good entertainment value for my money near the lead for much of the early running.
Very sad to hear that Anthony Van Dyke had to be put down after suffering a fracture during the running.

Seven deaths in seven years is a terrible statistic and I’m sure the authorities in Australia will be forced to take a long hard look at what is going wrong in regards to this race.

Nothing can prepare an owner for losing a runner due to injury. Immediately takes your breath away and makes you question your involvement for weeks or longer. At least it did for me.
