Ok here is the Kronstdat cast iron plunger of the week: Nakeeta in the Melbourne Cup next Tuesday. 25/1 currently ante post, this Ebor winner has a cracking chance to be the first British horse to win this big event. It might be worth waiting till the draw is made before slapping the money down. Anything higher than 15 is severely disadvantaged in this race.
(If it loses this tip was made by John Murray).
not the best draw although still has place possibilities.
I like four lol so in order -
MARMELO - great prep race in Caulfield Cup coming home well finishing 6th and Bowman booked to ride and the draw doesn't put me off given his style of running.
ALMANDIN - won last year and the only slight negative is that Frankie rides (not at his best in australia imo but the horse might negate that lol)
WALL OF FIRE - had a second to Lord Fandango who then ran well in the CC, nicely weighted.
AMELIE'S STAR - ran well two starts back and flopped in the CC, good trainer and she is bred for this trip imo. My sort of dabble lol.
