Will be interesting to see if Mr Feelgood holds out Smoken Up or if he takes a sit over the longer trip....

id be staggered if mr feelgood hands up.

[Big Max]

After having 4 runs after a break Mr feelgood you'd think would be spot on, so i'm with mightymo and be staggered if he hands up.

This will be an exciting race and i can't wait to watch it, is it possible that another horse beside's Mr Feelgood and Smoken Up will try and get the lead and then hand up straight away.

Hesa Buzzin perfectly draw for an upset. At least a live place chance and should start 4th favourite behind the 3 real grand circuit horses.

[Karloo Krew]

Think Washakie is in with a very strong chance. Looked the goods beating Mr Feelgood two starts ago, then carted Smoken Up in the Gold Coast cup. If he can get the sit this time around I think he can turn the tables on the champ and cause an upset at odds

Without rewatching the replay, I'm pretty sure Washakie held the lead and surrended the lead to Smoken Up mid race, can't see how that is carting Smoken Up into the race? He had every opportunity to run Smoken Up down and he couldn't?

You're dead right Flashing. Just on that, Why would Washakie, after holding the lead from the start suddenly hand it up with just under a lap to go? Could it be that the driver saw Mr Feelgood coming 3 wide and decided it was better to hand up and therefore let the stablemate into the 2 wide line?

He went super last week I love it when the big races are on, we are really blessed to watch genuine Grand Circuit stars like Smoken Up, Mr Feelgood and Washakie clash and Hesa Buzzin I'm sure will run a might race too

Lifetime (Australian) marks of the field....

Mr Feelgood - 1:52 (best time in Australia)
Smoken Up - 1:48
Be Good Johnny - 1:54 (on a half mile)
Washakie - 1:50
Inthelightofday - 1:54
Loosen The Load - 1:56
Be Diligent - 1:52
Artifactor - 1:55
Heza Buzzin - 1:55
Atomic Ark - 1:54 (TT)

I remember even just 5-6 years ago they hardly broke 1:55/1:56 at Albion Park. Now 3 entrants have run 1:52 at Albion Park and Australia has its first sub 1:50 winner. We've come along way in a short time

Mr Feelgood to hand up to Smoken Up, and thats the last they'll see of him. Smoken Up is head and shoulders above anything else running around in Australia or New Zealand.
