It's a lot harder to tip the Cup Trifecta these days with so many overseas horses which are always very hard to line up their forms and the horse's condition after the travelling and the quarantine !
The last three overseas Cup winner: Media Puzzle, Americaine and Dunadun all won the Geelong Cup - but the Geelong Cup winner this year can't even get into the Cup field - so we have to look at the Caulfield Cup winner in Admire Rakti and
Protectionist who ran 4th in the Herbert Power. Last time Delta Blue ran a place in the Caulfield Cup, he won the Cup next up.
Also in recent years, the Cox Plate has been a good indicator - Fawkner beat all bar Adelaide so must be included and he won the Caulfield Cup last year and ran 6th in the Cup so he is the best of the locals with WFA forms.
Other locals we have to include Lucia Valentina and hope that she can stay the two miles. Signoff won on Derby Day so capable of doing a Shocking with minimum weight and has the in form jockey.
So, if you want to box say 6 horses for the trifecta, it will cost you $120 for 1 unit, you can do that or bet half a unit for $60.00
For me, I think I need to box 8 horses, and included D Oliver's Mutual Regard and
the horse who ran second twice in the past two years - in Red Cadeaux - some horses seem to run well in certain races at certain time of the year, think Zipping - ran 4th in three Melbourne Cups.!
And
Glen Boss on Who Shot TheBarMan who won twice at Flemington and won the Auckland Cup (3,200m) this year.
So my 8 horses box trifecta @ 1/2 unit = $168.00 - that's my Saturday punt at 316 with Rebecca, plus another legit massage from Kitty or Candy - double or nothing..................lol
1. Admire Rakti
3. Fawkner
4. Red Cadeaux - Second for the Third Time !
5. Protectionist - First
11. Mutual Regard
12. Who Shot TheBarMan - Third
22. Lucia Valentina
24. Signoff
Good luck everyone !!
Cheers
ps. It must be an Omen - this is my 20,168 post - lucky 168 !!
