The hardest race to pick a winner, so difficult is it that Victorians need to have a day off work to study the form guide.
I’ve scanned through the form for about 7 minutes and come up with “Half Yours” despite the barrier. Good luck.

Tuff race and just for fun I did a 4 horse mystery trifecta $ 10
Got 1,3,9,23 never know
Then it got the better of me so I had a pick 5:horse trifecta
1,2,14,20,22 only a few hours and we see , good luck to all punters today

My exacta for the cup guys but not with any confidence it's always a stinker of a race for a bet going wide to spread the net.

1st) 6, 10, 24.
2nd) 2, 6, 10, 14, 24.
