John McNair, the trainer of Hay list, has reported this morning that he has never been in better order, his weight, attitude is all spot on and there will be no excuses on Saturday.

Further betting moves has seen Black Caviar’s odds trim up further and is now into $1.75 across the major bookmakers: Luxbet, [sportsbet] and [iasbet]. However you can still get $3 with Luxbet on Hay list whereas he has firmed with Sportsbet into $2.9 and into $2.8 with IASbet.
