I'm sticking with my original picks... Pocket Power, Mother Russia and Ebony Flyer in the Queens Plate and well good luck to Zirconeum in the Paddock as I have no idea about that one but I like her.

I don't know if he can do it... I keep thinking of him in the Durban July but then he won the Green Point and looked good doing so, so.....

This will be the first time against the boys for Ebony Flyer (and I think the first time facing her elders) but she's a reeeally nice girl. The up and coming star of SA (she already is there but I think this is one of those names people here will know soon enough).

Mother Russia... well I can see her winning although I really have to root for Pocket Power who, as I said in a previous post, has won this race 4 times.

A fantastic day of racing over there!

Come home safe, all of you.

Results...

Mother Russia
Tales of Bravery
Ebony Flyer
Pocket Power

That's all I can find so far and that, apparently, Pocket Power will run one last time and then bow out.
