Kiwi Sacred Master worth a look
Won Newcastle Cup & fourth in the Metropolitan Ran third in the Auckland Cup where he fought on well Another kiwi worth a look,,Rose of Virginia,,ran second in the Auckland Cup She finished the race off nice & strong Unplaced two starts in Oz over unsuitable journeys |
And let’s not forget kiwi Who Shot Thebarman
Having another go Ran 3rd two years ago,,11th last year but not suited by the slow pace & checked at the 150m,,should have finished closer No spring chicken but worth a look |

Assign, one of the 3 needing a top 3 finish (after Master Zephyr was scratched) won and gained a 1kg penalty. This takes him to 27th in the Order of Entry and foremost of those on 54kg, likely needing some further dropouts to advance. No penalty for Pemberley, despite only finishing 0.4L back in 3rd. On the positive side, this means he has passed the ballot clause and is in 35th place (though ahead only of Manndawi and Arab Dawn - and those yet to pass the first ballot clause). Pemberley will rise one further position as Antonio Guiseppe has been announced as heading to the paddock on account of muscle damage. Back for Autumn 2017. This weekend there are the following notable races: Oct 15 - BMW CAULFIELD CUP 30 nominations (field limit of 18). Only 6 of the nominees aren't also in line for the Melbourne Cup. Oct 15 - CITY TATT'S CLUB CUP 13 nominations presently, but they've been extended 'til tomorrow morning. Grand Marshall, Who Shot Thebarman and Sacred Master are the only Melbourne Cup potentials in the field (all of whom were also nominated in the Caulfield Cup). Only Sacred Master is in danger of missing the Melbourne Cup, presently at 28th in the Order. Winning just this race isn't enough to advance his ranking. A 0.5kg penalty would see him get to 26th (any higher would require an unlikely 1.5kg penalty). A top 4 finish - with no penalty - in the Caulfield Cup (in which he's at 23rd in the order) would nudge him ahead of Assign and into 27th. A (hopefully) comprehensive victory here would seem the better option; if only the Melbourne Cup was the long-term view (otherwise there's a 10 in 18 chance of winning $75k or more in the CC, vs a 1 in x chance in the Tatt's Club Cup) |
And another kiwi,,Pentathlon
Three times over 2 mile,,1st,,2nd & 4th The last time not suited by the slow pace |
Prince Of Penzance recovering from surgery
Screws inserted in off fore leg, as a result of injury sustained in the Herbert Power Stakes recently |
