This race will much depend on the stat of the ground.

I think Good to soft ground would be brilliant for us watching the race as that would give most a chance. Dylan might not like it, though.

If it is going to be any softer, it could really damage the race this year, as i think he might see a 'plodder' winning it.

Gee I thought she was. We'll see.

You know, I think it could be an upset this year and you know who is interesting?

Saddex.

I think you're right about the ground and it seems ideal for this boy. He skipped the Grosser Preis von Baden (sp?) so he'd run fresh, won all three this year..... I think he's got a shot.

Senitmental pick? Dylan or Red Rock of course BUT.....

Just seen another interview and, yep, it does look like she will be wearing them. Apparently she has sparkled in her work with them on.

Saddex won't be a big shock. Down to 16/1 now apparently.

Anything but Authorized for me. I won't be betting, so it won't matter really

I've never seen Authorized winning here.....

Youmzain is a ridiculous price.. he should go on anything and the quicker the better.. Id much rather back him than anyone double digits in fornt of him..

True. They are likely to go a strong clip on Sunday and he will keep going all day. It's quite possible that he will be the shock that i'm thinking about.

Forecast is dry from now until Sunday and supposed to be quite warm with a breeze tomorrow. The course is expecting good to soft for the Arc, with an outside chance of good ground.

On good ground i can't see anything beating Dylan Thomas, but it will need to be officially good.

He's disappointed me too many times but good luck, birthday boy.

You're right, he has disappointed many people, but he does need a certain type of race. He needs a strong pace over a mile and half. He goes on almost any ground (apart from extremes).

On the face of it, he has seemed rather disappointing so far this year. Remember Dubai though, he got a strongly run race over 12 furlongs and ran a cracker.

He should get the race run to suit on Sunday and he might just shock a few people.

Brock, one of my mates has just informed me that Youmzain is 65 on Betfair!!!!!
