Efficient will feel the pinch over 3200m this year, but did seem to handle 59kg alrite 1st up from a spell.
Zipping with the same wight as last year will be right there for its 3rd year in a row.
The perth runner Guyno was weighted out of the Perth Cup last year, it will tackle the Geelong Cup or the melbourne cup if it can handle the rise in class, and with only 52kg may a good bet at $201 fixed odds.

Even at those weights I think Efficient is a good value bet to retain his crown. 7.0 for win and place looks a good call. What do you think?
