Hi Wolf, sorry was just about to add further instructions - see first post, updated now. Cheers.

Awesome Idea South, great. Time to put in the hours again.

Just one question, does it have to be for a win? Or can we do for a place?

Sorry just clarifying.

Thanks again.

Just one question .Is the competition restricted to South African Fourumites?

Hi Guys
I'm one of the lurkers that hangs around here and never says anything. I'm going to have a shot at this though, these are my selections for now, will most likely change before saturday pm.

R1  No 4.  Reigning Monarch
R2  No 7.  Flaming Alice
R3  No 3.  Agra
R4  No 13. Northen Conquest
R5  No 4.  Jackson
R6  No 4.  Covenant
R7  No 12. Igugu
R8  No 14. Great Fox
R9  No 3.  Ce Loire

Thanks South, one question, what happens if one of the selections is scratched after your 12pm cutoff time? Will we be able to change the selection or get our "R100" back?

Welcome Lodar, some nice picks for the big day and thanks for your courage in being the first to post your picks.

Shot Lodar, I make Great Fox a serious runner and the biggest threat to my selection, Divine Jet.

When watching the Met gallops last week, the horse that impressed me the most (ironically) was a non-Met runner - Covenant - who was working with Chesalon and in fact beat him in the gallop to the line. I'm torn in the race between EF who at her best should have the field stone cold and Trinity House, who had a stunning run behind Princess Victoria over course/distance, but was beaten last time by Covenant (over 1200m) 

hi guys, excellent thoughts and also very excited. Just a small request - any chance we could 'jump over' to the horse racing thread for any J&B Met day banter? Just helps keep this thread for compo posts. Shot lads!

Sorry South, only saw your comment after I posted.

Chris, I see you have a few lurkers in there - you've stuck in my fancy for race 4, that I thought everybody overlooked - 3rd run after rest from top yard.
