SUMMARY: We found it hard to split our top 3 in the Cup but eventually settled for Land Legend ($15) he ran super in the Caulfield Cup when over racing. He will settle much better here maybe a little further back. Zardozi ($11) has been running on nicely her last 3 she might be the one at the clocktower hitting the front and super tough to get past once there. Vauban ($7) this horse loves the distance a 3 time Group1 winner with 55.5kgs is a bonus. Buckaroo ($6.50) his form has been outstanding this time in and will be winding up big time at the distance. Sharp ‘N’ Smart ($61) is a very smart horse and his run in the Moonee Valley Cup was pretty good getting home strongly late. He is a Victorian Derby winner so he will be there at the business end. Sea King($12) bolted in last start and Fancyman ($126) ran a nice race in the Caulfield Cup so he goes in our quaddie. GOOD LUCK to all our members having a crack today and where ever you are for the Cup cheers from Kerry & Dan Horsebuck$
