My team:
Bivuoac - Gp1
Melody Belle (C) - Gp1
Mugatoo - Gp1
Libertini - Gp1
Le Don De Vie - Gp3
In Good Health - Gp2
Riddle Me That - Gp3
She's Ideel - Gp2
Deep Speed - LR
Shelby Cobra - LR
Torbreck (E) - LR
H Bowman

The last spot became a heavy toss up between Bivuoac and Nature Strip (+ a non-racing E).
Nature Strip will be a decent POD today, I'm pretty sure, and that's just the sort of thing I need, given Bivuoac will be very popular. If they let NS run the first 600m in around 35 seconds, they probably won't get past him, he'll win. If they push him, and make him go a bit faster, the good ones will get by him. Come on Fabergino, attack NS from the start!!!!
No AQ, who will be a popular C pick, along with Bivuoac. I needed a separation, and while quite a few will have MB, I'm not sure many will have her C. I'm a bit worried about the Jockey change on AQ. I'm also a bit concerned about her running out a genuine 2000m at Flem. Her win at Caulfield doesn't really count as a genuine 2000m, as they ran the first part so slow, it was more like an 1800m race!
I wanted Pondus and LDDV, but could only have one. Again, I think most will go Pondus, due it shortening so much. The Geelong Cup form is usually streets ahead of the Bendigo Cup form, so wanting a slightly more POD'ish LDDV was something I was happy with.
As with everyone, a few compromised picks after that, but I think they'll all be semi popular.

Still tossing up whether I need the extra POD of NS over Biv!!!
Good luck

I was hoping Sansom and Morvada would attack each other up front, making it a swoopers race.
Didn't pan out, as they ran the first 600 too slow, and you needed to be in the first 3 in the running from that point of the race.

My E ran 6th, and scored 6 points.
Unfortunately, there will be enough people in the top 10 without Mugatoo, so only getting 6 points for Mugatoo has cooked my goose.
I'll probably be lucky to finish top 20 now.
We need to cheer for @hunterpunter from here. He avoided Mugatoo, and has AQ and MB in that race.
He's pretty much certain to finish our highest placed Coach from here.

Your MB captaincy choice might do the trick, Biv winning and Libertini running 2nd
