Key Replay: Moonee Valley Gold Cup, October 25 2024, Moonee Valley, Good Surface
Yes, there were unlucky runners in the field, but even allowing for that, this guy was impressive in winning, making a sustained run and was strong to the line in a race which has been a Melbourne Cup form reference in the past.
Final Summary: He looked like a hurdler to start the prep but they have stepped him up in trip, ridden with intent, finding firmer footing and he’s become a different horse, a better horse. I think he is one with that sense of timing and I have no issue with him at 3200m. He’s a knockout hope as far as I’m concerned.
