Will Zipping be fav? Because Efficent looks pretty good for this, and i'd like some decent odds.

Would say no chance if Efficient starts - will be fav for sure (or should be)

I'd guess the order of favouritism as this - with my wild guess prices as

2.60    Efficient
3.50    Scenic Shot
6.00    Zipping
10.00  Master O'Reilly

Mine would be:

2.4 Efficient
4.5 Scenic Shot
5    Zipping

Could easily see Zipping shorter than SS though

Yeah, your probably right about them being closer than $3.50 & $6.00.

10 MISS DARCEY Anthony Cummings Mark Zahra  7  56 95

This race might take 4 minutes to run.  I suppose Purple might go to the front, and they could try racing Zarita up on the pace?  Under those conditions, it doesn't make for a very appealing betting race, especially as the odds seem about right.

Zipping can take a sit and Scenic Shot also gets a nice run near/on the pace.

Bit of a nightmare really.  Maybe I'll take a standout F4 (with Zarita stood out to come 4th.)

Probably not the right race being wfa, but I'll just have an each way interest Miss Darcey. I've been on her at her last few starts, she may as well have run 2 mile last start at the Valley given the run she had, I guess she's been freshened up for this, she's got a good race in her and at the 31's / $7's ew I see if this is the one.

Shes had no luck of late 7's, i've been on as well.

Not sure if she can beat all of these but a great blow out chance at that price

I'd like to back Zipping but the barrier incident has put me off.

Have the favourite rated a $3 chance. Think he'll run the quinella with Purple.

If they all race to their normal pattern this will be a jog/sprint. Think the best bet is Scenic Shot running a place, shouldn't miss top 3. I thought Purple would be lapped in this but there has been early backing for so I might lay her if she gets any shorter.

Purple can't win...way under the odds...actually i'll go as far in saying she won't run a place...

i thought MOR's run in the cup was not only the run of the race but his best this prep...odds a bit short though if no pace.

Shaun, he's finally got a decent jock on board
