Virtuous Circle Information
After the Bart Cummings, I declared him as the best of the locals to knock off Vauban, but gee he let me down in the Geelong Cup. But, to me, it looked like he wasn’t there to win. He had the suck run and loomed but just flattened out. He has been assured a run in the race all Spring so the stable hasn’t needed him screwed down. Off his Naturalism/Bart Cummings runs, he’s good enough to threaten.

Key Replay: Geelong Cup, October 25 2023, Geelong, Good Surface
I thought he was a good thing in this race and in the run, I was feeling pretty content, more so on the turn, but when Lane asked for the effort, he went backwards and just whacked to the line in a very plain finale, which concerns me given how good he was the start prior.
