It does not surprise that Tiz Enuf has been well-backed in the Cinderella Stakes.
She could hardly have been more impressive when she won on debut at Sale and the form coming out of that race has been strong.
Barrier one is ideal and she will have every possible chance with Ben Melham in the saddle.
Beltoro gets his chance to return to winning form in the CS Hayes Memorial Cup.
He doesn’t win out of turn, but he has been racing in much stronger races than this one and there is no fitter horse in this field.
Barrier two is perfect and he will be right in the finish.
Philonize is one of the most exciting horses racing on Adelaide Cup Day.
She just keeps on winning and she has now scored six wins from her ten race starts.
The Maurice Stakes is the toughest test of her racing career to date but there is no doubt that she has more upside than the rest of this field.
This is a typically open edition of the Adelaide Cup and Chalk Stream does represent outstanding value at his current quote of $14.
He hasn’t been the most consistent horse since he arrived in Australia but we know the talent is there to win a race of this quality – he couldn’t have been more impressive when he won the Australia Day Cup at Warwick Farm.
The wide barrier draw isn’t ideal and he will need some luck in running, but I am confident that he will be able to run out the trip strongly and that will give him every possible chance.
