Terrific field for the Audemars Piguet QEII Cup and how great to see such an international group!

Nothing but admiration for Red Cadeaux especially (of the internationals) but gotta root for the home team here.

Safe home to my favorite in the race, California Memory. Hope he is retired soon and sent to Living Legends.

Last years winner, Designs on Rome, is out wide... the French runner, Smoking Sun, was having some issues... not a great season for Blazing Speed... not sure how concerned to be regarding Military Attack (slight problem this am) BUT I think I will use him in the top spot.

Military Attack
Red Cadeaux
... with Designs on Rome, Blazing Speed, and Criterion underneath.

^^^ Subject to change!

Good luck to anyone playing and come home safe, everyone.

edit - Good luck to Lucky Nine in the Sprint Cup. Nice little field with Gold Fun, Peniaphobia, etc. I might put something together if the odds on Charles the Great are as good as I thing they might be. We shall see.

Military Attack is undergoing a vet inspection, probably as I type this, in case you are unaware.

The return to 2000m will be much more suitable for Designs on Rome, but neither Viva Pataca or Vengeance of Rain could claim top honours in this after returning from Dubai. Something to think about, but Military Attack missed by only a nose last year.

It's a quick two-week turnaround for Criterion and Red Cadeaux...

Helene Happy Star is progressing well and has a quick turn of foot, but I'd want much more than the current 7.3 offered.

Staphanos turned in a great piece of work the other day, dispelling some concerns about how he didn't travel well. However, this is a big step up for him and I wonder if 1800m is the ceiling for him.

Smoking Sun is a monster price at 70-1. I really fancied his chances at Arlington but the race ended up shaping up very poorly for him. On his day he's a fairly good horse. Don't forget he was 1.5 lengths clear of Military Attack in Singapore last year. Doesn't handle the heavy going so I'm not worried about his return run.

Designs on Rome the one to beat and great value at 3-1 currently, but Smoking Sun very much worth using at that price. Criterion, Red Cadeaux, Helene Happy Star, and Staphanos underneath.

Thanks for your thoughts. I thought Smoking Sun had just had some isues as well... (?). Hope Military Attack will be okay to run.

SUCKS that Zac is out (kidney stone)... wonder who gets the mount!

He's not a morning horse, always been like that. Was the same way in Singapore.

Prebble is listed on Military Attack as of 9:33 Sunday morning local. Must have passed fit.
