No particular order…
Expecting some Final Furlong entries to possibly make up numbers.

Memorial[/b]
Gotta Go won his first race this year
last start in the Godolphin Mile, Gr.2. Looks good to give this
a good go, he’s had good form leading into it.
Chivalry ran
fifth last start in the Victoria Derby, Gr.1. Won the C.S. Hayes
Stakes, Gr.3, earlier in the year. Don’t rate him highly in
this.
Duplicate Copy is possibly the top dirt 3YO this year.
Beat class field in the UAE Derby, Gr.2, last start. Doesn’t
need an introduction and is the one to beat again.
Crusader was
fifth in the UAE Derby, Gr.2. He won the MV Vase,
Gr.2, prior to that run. Hard to see him winning against this
field. Place chance.
Mocashment is the bridesmaid of the field.
Was second in the UAE Derby, Gr.2. Hasn’t won since 2YO year,
but expect him to be in the finish.
As You Wish is probably the
main threat. Was third in the UAE Derby, Gr.2, last start. Prior
to that he won the Robinson Stakes, Gr.2. Has won two other
stakes this year. Will give this an honest effort.
[b]Cater
Handicap[/b]
Apollo was sixth last start in the
UAE Derby, Gr.2. Has run second this year in two decent stakes.
Hard to see him winning his first in this.
American Starz was
fifth in the Dubai Duty Free, Gr.1 last start. Has been racing
older horses all year and won two stakes along the way. Will enjoy
this.
Prince Of Wonder was third last start in the Victoria
Derby, Gr.1. Nice consistent record this year including two
stakes. Will appreciate the drop in distance.
Domestic Dispute
won last start in the Cicada Stakes, Gr.3. Has a very solid
record this year, but this is his toughest test to date.
[b]Melbourne
Cup[/b]
Foolhardy was a gallant second last start
in the Dubai Duty Free, Gr.1. Only concern is distance, but he
did win the Caulfield Cup, Gr.1. Will give his all as
usual.
Temptation trailed the field when last in the Dubai Duty
Free, Gr.1. Prior to that he won the Flag Down Stakes,
U.. Will be competitive if he can get to two
miles.
Cutlass was fifth in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup,
Gr.2, last start. Prior to that he won the Winning Edge Stakes,
Gr.2. This is a classy field and he’ll need to be top
notch.
Witness is another class 3YO this year. Was fourth in
the Dubai Duty Free, Gr.1. Cox Plate,
Gr.1, winner who will be in the finish if he can get the
distance.
[b]GOOD LUCK
EVERYONE! ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR 2YO RACERS![/b]
