Summer Cup Log

Not sure if there is a new Log due out soon?

Horses like Ultimate Dollar must be struggling to get in now?

Doubt there will be another log - final field and draws on Wednesday 18 Nov?

Frodo, what rating would you give Deo Juvente after Saturday considering Platinum Jet ran 3rd off a low MR.

he now runs off a 102 ..shaun Cormack rides

Firstly I think it is tough on young Murray getting jocked off after doing everything right

I found the Victory Moon tough to rate - the line horse is not that clear imo (I think Platinum Jet ran way above his rating in his first try over further than 1400) - if one goes with Ahlaam, Earl of Derby and Prince of Orange, Deo Juventus ran to around 105; but then Fulcrum and Easy Lover ran way above their ratings as well

Deo Juvente................105
Easy Lover..................108
Platinum Jet................99
Ahlaam.......................98
Earl of Derby...............94
Prince of Orange..........94
Fulcrum......................94
Yer-Maan....................105

Thanks Frodo, I felt the same very tough to assess and also feel sorry for Murray who rode a great race. So off a 102 he could still be well handicapped. It makes interesting reading of the St Tropez race as both St Tropez and Disco Al will face Deo Juvente at much better terms and a beating as well.

I was impressed with the way Deo Juvente won on Saturday and Woodruff does well with these sorts by not rushing them and seeing the best of them as 4 year olds, like Yorker.

The race is setting up to be very interesting.

This is the horse to beat

I still Fancy Master Sabina

BIG TIME!!!

final field tomorrow!

I have nailed my colors to the mast some time ago, I can't see anything in the field that can give St Tropez weight and a beating - I followed up my original bet at 14's with another bet at the current 7/1 which I still think is generous; I did cover a bit on Deo Juvente (25's) and Easy Money (75's) but I really think St Tropez has a lot going for him - only one that may trouble him at the weights imo is stable mate Disco Al, but that one was taken out on Saturday being 'on medication', so that is not inspiring confidence in his chances and he prefers further as well - will be interesting to see riding arrangements :ohmy:
