Tim, a member since '07, still rates Makybe Diva's 3rd Melbourne Cup win as his favourite. A previous racehorse owner, he still enjoys watching racing each week. He is hoping he can deliver with his tips.

Race Preview

MIDTOWN BOSS (3) rates highly. Since a dominant first up win here he's run second in three starts, the latest behind Johnny Rocker, who of course came out and gave Imperatriz a scare in the William Reid. That form looks incredibly strong now and back to Flemington suits ideally. Clear top pick. SCULLY (14) ran the race of his life at in the G3 Zedative two starts ago at Caulfield when third. Poor out to 1400m last time but had excuses. Can bounce back. FLYING ON A LIMB (13) ran well when well supported first up in a similar race. Strips fitter and has a touch of class. LITTLE MISS KUBI (12) resumes. She can mix her form a bit but her best is right up to this. TALBRAGAR (6) has a strong record and could measure up.
