T.BLAKEY ???

Great work WAZ.

I guess Muhlhan will be keen to win his home gift. Asghari or Hinds?

If I had to narrow it down to 6 my final would be as follows;
Mott
Templeton
Cole
Pusch
Boudrie
Whittaker

cheers waz, suprised your the only one for this big race

Hey Waz, love your work.

Can't see Boudrie and Mott finalling on current form. Motty only 10.93 on Saturday. Like your others tho.
I think Hinds and Carter will be in the final.

i dont think carter can run a sub 10.50 on grass to win. Hinds can only win if he is in career best form running 10.0. The winner will run 10.4 ish i think, it will be a out marker running 11.0 or something.

Open 550m Form

SIMON FITZPATRICK [FLEMINGTON , 16m] - Quality 800m runner with reasonable 400m form this season. Off a tight mark, however 4th at Movember 550m shows he is up to this.

TIM ESCHEBACH [NEW SOUTH, 30m] - Novice runner first-up over the 550m journey. Looks tested.
RYAN CAMILLE [WHEELERS HILL, 30m] - Yet to reach a final this season and would be a surprise here.
CHRIS CATO [GLEN IRIS, 30m] - Daylesford 1600m Novice winner who showed some good form over the 400m journey pre Christmas. Some claims.

PETER SPENCE [ST KILDA, 40m] - Failed to qualify for a 550m final so far this season. Recent 400m (2nd Camden Consol. Final) and 800m (2nd Wangaratta Open) form puts him in the mix.

GLENN COOPER [PAKENHAM , 53m] - Woodside 400m Novice winner who went on to score impressive second placing in open company in Wangaratta 400m. Rates highly.

PAUL VINEY [NORTHCOTE , 60m] - StAlbans 300m Veterans winner who'll be adding nuisance value out front. More suited to a 550m par five than a 550m foot race. Look elsewhere.
SIMON BLYTH [RESERVOIR , 60m] - Impressive 800m runs at Rye and StAlbans. Wouldn't surprise.
MARK HIPWORTH [HUGHESDALE , 62m] - Seasoned campaigner who has won just about everything. Going well again this campaign and will be hard to run down.
ALICE PLATTEN [NARRE WARREN, 66m] - Three-time winner over 70m, 120m and 300m this season and Movember 550m finalist. Should give bold showing from the front.
MARTIN BARROW [BLACK ROCK, 68m] - Veteran runner showing consistent form over 300/400m distance. Looks tested at the 550m.
CHRISTOPHER DIXON [ST KILDA, 71m] - VRTA 550m finalist who needs to lift.
CHRISTOPHER BROWN [ATTWOOD , 72m] - Another veteran not quite up to this on current form.
RICHARD NORRIS [QUEENSLAND , 74m] - Lightly raced in VAL this season and takes on a strong field here.
ALAN DINSDALE [BRIGHTON EAST, 75m] - Prefer in something easier.
TOM HECIMOVIC [NEWPORT , 79m] - Woodside 300m Wom/Vets winner who is always competitive from the front. Respect.
CHRIS LIVITSANOS [INVERMAY , 83m] - Movember 300m Veterans winner who will give the backies something to chase down.
CELIA COSGRIFF [RICHMOND , 86m] - Competitive in Womens and Open company this season winning Northcote Womens 800m and finalist in Rye Open 800m. May run cheeky race from outmark.

Dodger - well done, great preview. so who is the winner, ovett, coote, cooper, hoskins, spence, phelan?
