Tavago is probably the most likely to do it, but maybe a late-developer will come from nowhere and suddenly rise to the top - someone like Humidor?

EDIT: Not Humidor - scratched because of a slight injury.
I am pretty sure that when last I checked (before you edited your post) you had mentioned both Rangipo and Raghu so well done, hope you had it... have not yet watched ANY replays but am especially looking forward to this one AND to The Diamond One winning for the 3rd year (outstanding and yay Tommy Tucker and Illuminati)!!!

Oh and GOOD LUCK TO HABIBI at Gulfstream!!!!!

Weird Guineas. Both Rangipo and Raghu are terrific horses, but they don't feel like Derby winners to me. I don't know if they want to run that far. I'm even more confused now than I was before!

Great races down at Wingatui - The Diamond One was sensational, as were Kaharau, Miss Seton Sands and Son of Maher.

Ed is the Herbie Dyke Stakes this coming weekend? Just wondering cause of the swansong of Ms. Soriano which will be bittersweet.

Watched ALL the replays and agree one hundred percent.

The Diamond One was my favorite one.

Yep! Herbie Dyke Stakes (Soriano plus Kawi, Stolen Dance and Vavasour), NRM Sprint (Sacred Star, In Style, Allez Eagle, Ryan Mark, Xtravagant) and Sir Tristram Fillies' Classic (Capella). It should be a great day.
