Comments: I have no idea which horse will win the Melbourne Cup. It looks a complete lottery. For the record I'll go 8-4-12. Selections for each race at Flemington today are 1-1, 2-9, 3-9, 4-6, 5-2, 6-4, 7-5, 8-2, 9-3, 10-4

Black Book: Ascot 8-1 Inarticulate finished a disappointing 10th first up at his first go in black type company, albeit beaten less than 3 lengths. The drop in grade and claim for Jarrod Noske bring him in extremely well and I expect him to win. Flemington 4-6 Neroli made up for losing on protest 3 runs back with two wins in Sydney. She'll get a good run from the inside draw and should go very close. Flemington 7-2 Master O'Reilly is having his last run as a black booker. He's made us a lot of money and he'll be at nice odds today and is not without a chance, as he'll be finding the line though he might be giving away too much weight to some down the list. Randwick 6-8 Spinnrad hasn't raced since February 2007 and normally I'd take them out of the black book after so long but Danny Williams knows what he's doing with a horse and he scratched it from a much easier race at Kembla Grange today to run in this so I want to watch and see how he goes.
