Updated weekly, our Money Makers & Money Munchers service gives you a detailed list of horses that are going places in the near future and those that will turn punters into paupers.
MONEY MAKERS
Melbourne
Soul
Everyone was raving about Toorak Toff’s win, and yes it was highly impressive, but this bloke refused to give in and fought off all bar the winner. He’ll win a useful sprint race this spring.
Panipique
Crystal Lily wouldn’t have been 100% fit, but Panipique had to overcome a check and still ran her down and beat her.
Predatory Pricer
Great run fresh – hit the front too early and was a sitting shot for Shoot Out (pardon the pun) but may be reversing that result on Cox Plate day.
Response
Underrated mare who had to come up the inferior inside section of the track and beaten by a good mare in Rhythm in Paris. Smart 1200 – 1400 metre sprinter.
Sydney
Centennial Park
Faced impossible task to overcome slow tempo with 59kgs but sprinted hard and recorded best sectionals of the day in defeat. Has freakish ability on his day.
Masquerader
Tasted defeat for the first time but will be out seeking retribution in the Golden Rose. Great run with the big weight.
MONEY MUNCHERS
Melbourne
Cool Diva
Has run some good races behind useful off season mares but just doesn’t win enough.
Dane Keeper
Just so very overrated.
Schilling
The 2008 version (as opposed to the 2007 version) returns.
Sydney
African Prince
Back to his weak willed best.
Livin’ On the Edge
Everything fell into place – and still missed a place behind the 13 year old Mustard?!
