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 |

Cox Plate is this coming Saturday. Acceptances are on Wednesday morning, but presently nominated and still hoping to pass the first ballot clause is: Tosen Stardom. The winner of the 2016 Turnbull Stakes was Hartnell (already passed). The first three placegetters in the 2014 Melbourne Cup were Protectionist (no longer nominated), Red Cadeaux (RIP) and Who Shot Thebarman (already passed). The 2014 Caulfield Cup winner was Admire Rakti (RIP). |

Zanteca, 26th in the Order of Entry has been retired due to a suspensory ligament injury.
Antonio Guiseppe was said to be heading to the paddock, but remains in the Order of Entry in 32nd (now 31st) Oct 19 - GEELONG CUP (2400m G3 Hcp; 1st-3rd) Features: Grey Lion (now 29th in Order of Entry; can jump up to 27th with victory. Almoonquith got a 1kg penalty for winning this race last year. The same result will move Grey Lion to 26th) Arab Dawn (now 37th; can jump up to 31st with victory. A subsequent 1kg penalty will move Arab Dawn to 27th) Qewy (needs to finish top 3 to pass ballot clause; thereafter will be in 31st, 34th or 36th - depending on the results of other horses in the field, of course. 27th with victory and a 1kg penalty) Oceanographer (as above) To finish any higher they need either further weight penalties or dropouts above them. Tarzino looks a likely candidate to drop out (underwent scans today after leg swelling was detected and remainder of the Spring is in grave doubt). The United States is also rumoured to be giving the Cup a miss after a disrupted campaign. |

There's all sorts of rumours about which runners are dropping out of the race. Monday is time for nominees to pay the second declaration fee, so it should be mostly all cleared up by then. In the meantime we have on Oct 22nd:
All runners can increase their prizemoney (which adjusts their position amongst horses with the same weight). |
Yep, half-a-kilo penalty for import Qewy for winning the Geelong Cup
Yep, moves him up to 31st in the order of entry And would you believe most of his recent form has been over the fences |

And we also have Fanatic,,rank outsider quoted 125/1 She won the NZ Oaks in March on protest,,running on well Bit of a setback since coming to Oz Scratched from the Caulfield Cup due to an infection in her leg caused by a spider bite Not seen since so Cup start possibly in doubt |

The second declaration fee is due on Monday and I daresay there will be a fair few that will be dropping out. Acceptances for the Group 3 2400m Bendigo Cup will also be released. |
Hartnell, won Queen's Vase 3219m, 4th Sydney Cup 3200m, 15th 2015 Melbourne Cup, jock said pace was just too slow, couldn’t make up ground
Jameka, Caulfied Cup winner, also won Oaks 2500m, on pace should keep out of trouble :) Bondi Beach, 2nd St Leger 2917m, 1st Vintage Crop 2816m, lightly raced & good strike rate :) Almandin, winner Harry White Classic 2400m & The Bart Cummings 2500m, another lightly raced & good strike rate |
Quote:
Bondi Beach also 16th 2015 Melbourne Cup, similar comments from jock to Hartnell |
..west aussie real love..to run in the lexus stakes next sat
..how she performs in that race will determine if a start in the cup |

Only 32 remain in contention (42 at this stage last year). Still needing to pass the first ballot clause are:
De Little Engine The Bandit Tom Melbourne They've all nominated for the Lexus Stakes, in which they must finish in the top 3 placegetters (and likely hope for a weight penalty as - without further dropouts - the best they can otherwise manage is 27th in the Order of Entry).

Bendigo Cup acceptances have also been released. Only Howard Be Thy Name remains in the field and as a Melbourne Cup potential (currently in 19th position in the order of entry). The Offer won this race last year and did not receive a weight penalty. Tanby got a 1kg penalty for the same feat in 2011, but given that Howard Be Thy Name is already on 51.5kg and with respect to the relevant merits of his competitors, probably can safely win without earning a penalty - unless it's an outstanding victory.
Francis of Assisi also accepted, but didn't pay the second Melbourne Cup nomination fee. Not sure what this says about his chances in this race... |

Scottish, all wins 1799 - 2018m range, did run 2nd in the Caulfield Cup & has gone from unlikely starter to likely
Exospheric, all wins 2012 - 2414m range, good 3rd in the Caulfield Cup Heartbreak City, Win range 2000 - 3319m, looks well handicapped :) |
"Aspro's Melbourne Cup System".
I don't know who Aspro is, but if you google the name you'll find the source. It was made freely available so I don't believe I'm stepping on anyone's toes... Had 4 choices last year, including the eventual 100-1 winner, Prince of Penzance. According to their figures, it's got 38 of the last 53 winners. Rule 1 List any Cup acceptor placed in either the Caulfield Cup and MacKinnon Stakes Caulfield Cup: Jameka, Scottish, Exospheric. MacKinnon Stakes: now called the Emirates Stakes and held after the Cup....don't know how that's supposed to work anymore. Rule 2 List any Cup acceptor placed 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup Who Shot Thebarman, Pentathlon, Excess Knowledge Rule 3 List any acceptor who was placed 1-2-3 in the Melbourne Cup at their last cup run N/A Rule 4 List the Lexus Stakes winner TBD - Nominations extended 'til tomorrow morning but presently include De Little Engine, Pentathlon, Real Love, Rose of Virginia, Tally, The Bandit or Tom Melbourne. Rule 5 Delete any horse whose last run in the Melbourne Cup was an unplaced run. Delete - Excess Knowledge (7th 2015), Who Shot Thebarman (11th 2015), Rule 6 Delete any horse who is aged 3yo or 7yo or older. Leaves: Jameka, Scottish, Exospheric, Pentathlon (if he makes the final field) and - if they happen to win the Lexus and back up in The Cup - one of De Little Engine, Real Love, Tally, The Bandit or Tom Melbourne |

Good one! Glad I got on early Halved his quote after his placing in the MV cup Nice odds too,,for the place,,that race :) |
Wicklow Brave, last start winner Irish St Leger 2816m. Change in tactics that win, on pace beating the odds-on favourite Order of St George. Handles all track conditions but loves the wet. :)
Almoonqith, last years Geelong / Sandown Cups winner. Fast finishing 4th Caulfield Cup. At best dry track. Oceanographer, win range 2012 - 2213m, running in the Lexus Stakes Sat. A good performance in that would enhance his chance for this. |
There are doubts (again) that Tally will line-up in Tuesday’s Cup
The horse is set to run in Saturday’s Lexus Stakes & is likely to bypass the Cup & perhaps run in the Zipping Classic 12th Nov |
Final acceptors for this race have been passed fit to run however Jameka will be inspected again this morning
Acceptors that contest the Lexus Stakes will be inspected again late today |
Recapping. Three kiwis in the final field
Who Shot Thebarman ($35),, Pentathlon ($126) & Rose of Virginia ($301) |
