Expert Overview

We get a round three between ANAMOE (7) and I'M THUNDERSTRUCK (1) and it's something to savour. Anamoe holds the title, winning the Might and Power and then the Cox Plate, and he is favoured to make it three, but I'm Thunderstruck was motoring at the end of the Cox Plate and Flemington will suit him. He was brilliant reeling in Alligator Blood here in the Makybe Diva and he has a genuine shot at turning the tables on Anamoe. Great race between the pair but certainly can't ignore ZAAKI (2) who has been close up behind them this spring and will again land in a great spot up on speed. Gives himself every chance. MO'UNGA (3) does not give himself every chance. Has been poorly placed in both the Might And Power and Cox Plate but he is powering through the line and going really well.
