midas touch for the arc

Hoping for as much rain a possible tonight to turn it into a real test.If so can see Midas being right up there.

Thought he might be a fair e/w bet midweek but unfortunately not with that draw

Can't see it, whether he's drawn well or drawn poorly.

Looked a good candidate for major spoils Down Under earlier this season and its surprising that Ballydoyle are back over this trip in this company.

As per my post on the horse racing forum - I think this horse is nailed on to run a big race. Plus I always get heavily involved with both Turtle Islands and Darshaans on the soft ground, this boy has the pedigree and the Group 1 form in the book.

I seriously cannot remember a worse Arc in my memory - if the ground really cuts up, it could be won by a bit of a plodder in a plodder set of circumstances.

Remember, this horse has been running on firm/good ground all year and with bloody good credit - this horse is bred to run on the soft over middle distances.

I am getting very nicely involved each way.

a lot of the ballydoyle lads think the same , they think he could make all and win
