Here's the time-honoured Metropolitan, now downgraded to G2 level. Most of these have entered at Flemington as well. 2 and 3 have also accepted for the Turnbull while 5, 6, 7, 9, 11 were all in the Bart Cummings as well. Melbourne is expecting 20-40mm of rain on Thursday and a bit more on Friday so the wet-trackers will presumably head south. That very likely leaves AETHELWULF in Sydney in the hope that any rain has been insignificant by mid-afternoon on Saturday. Yes, he has been well placed leading to the Newcastle Cup and even that was hardly a vintage edition. He's romping in though and it isn't hard to imagine he just continues on his way.
