The four Caulfield Cup emergencies including first reserve Forgotten Voice are among 26 nominations for next Wednesday’s $300,000 Group Three Geelong Cup.
The Geelong Cup (2400m) has become a strong guide to the Melbourne Cup with internationals Media Puzzle (2002), Americain (2010) and Dunaden (2011) completing the double.
Along with Caulfield Cup reserves Forgotten Voice, Sneak A Peek, Ibicenco and Oasis Bloom, premier Sydney trainer Chris Waller’s latest import Opinion is nominated to make his Australian debut while owner Lloyd Williams has a host of nominations.
Meanwhile, Group One Spring Champion Stakes winner Complacent is among 23 nominations for the Geelong 3YO Classic (2200m).
Darley’s Melbourne stable foreman Paul Snowden said the colt arrived in Melbourne on Thursday morning and was likely to run at Geelong or in the Vase at Moonee Valley on Saturday week ahead of the Victoria Derby.
