JMac on board is always a plus.ĭislikes: But is she travelling as well as last year? In 2020 Verry Elleegant came into the Cup off the back of wins in the Turnbull and Caulfield Cups. Likes: She can stay as she showed in last year’s Cup when there were 20 in front of her at the turn for home and she kept finding and finding to finish a game seventh.
The injury knock has me a little worried but still respecting and rate a place hope.Ī grand mare of Australian racing, Very Elleegant is one runner you would never query on class with nine Group One wins already to her name. VERDICT: Certainly brings a touch of Euro staying class to a less than stellar field. Had an injury setback just days before the Cup and while he has been declared fit that’s hardly ideal. Questions over how he will handle the big field as the biggest field he has raced in previously is 13 horses and often races with half that number around him. Finished just 0.2 lengths behind superstar Stradivarius (at the same weight) at his last start in a G2 over 3,200m and beat Stradivarius the race before in a G1 over 4,000m.ĭislikes: Was originally slated for the Cups double, but had a delayed departure to Australia due to having muscle spasms. Star UK stayer who was Cup favourite before Incentivise began his superb run of form. VERDICT: He’s never run past 2,500m, is being asked to carry plenty of weight and the odds are crazy low so I would not bet on him to win, but you must take Incentivise in your multiples and there’s an argument to take him as a stand out (ie as your only horse to win).
It’s the nature of a handicap that a horse that has won three Group Ones on the trot coming in will carry a big weight and that’s what Incentivise must do here. Likes: The hype built around this horse after he won the G1 Makybe Diva, kept building after he cruised through the G1 Turnbull and then exploded after he crushed his opponents in the G1 Caulfield Cup.ĭislikes: I have to find one and it is weight. The hottest of hot favourites, Incentivise is on track to break a 20-year Melbourne Cup/Caulfield Cup drought.
