14-year member, Mitchell is confident there is value on this Cup Day. With a story or two to tell about long-shot multi's, let's hope that his tips help get you over the line for Cup Day.

SURFIN' BIRD (15) is the intriguing runner. She's a lightly raced mare who has won 4/5 starts to date, utterly dominant at Caulfield in a BM70 last start, setting midfield off a strong speed and obliterating her rivals in outstanding time. That was a clear peak performance and this is much harder but if she runs to that level, she measures right up. GUMDROPS (10) has just found one better in both runs this time in, trying hard behind all-the-way-winner She's Bulletproof at Caulfield last time. She needs to run out a strong 1400m which this will be, but McDonald sticks and she's ready to peak. SHE'S GOT PIZZAZZ (2) looks suited going to 1400m third up. She hasn't been beaten far in two runs back and did win her only go this trip. PONDALOWIE (14) is going better than the form guide suggests, she draws a gate here and 1400m looks ideal. FANCIFY (1) won this race last year in slick time leading throughout. She's perhaps not going quite as well and may not get the same conditions here.
