Lopov the only "visitor"

[kiwiz]

Gutsy effort God Has Spoken top ride Steven Parnham but Western Jewel finished too well
Young Kyra Yuill created history by becoming the 1st female jockey to win the race & only the 3rd apprentice to win the staying feature

[MyHatMyCoat]

Big run Western Jewel in the last running of the cup. Well deserved win this time around.

[MyHatMyCoat]

Western Jewel could be headed for an interstate campaign in the autumn.

Mornington Cup next month

Mornington Cup next month
Guyno did it last year so you would think Western Jewel a decent chance

Mornington Cup next month
Could be up against the Gai Waterhouse trained Kontiki Park
Gai's looking to qualify Kontiki Park for the Caulfield Cup

Unplaced today in the Australia Day Cup, think Western Jewel would have him covered ;)

Guyno did it last year so you would think Western Jewel a decent chance
On the subject of Guyno, the evergreen stayer is close to resuming after bouncing back from a severe bout of colic which almost claimed his life. The Bunbury Cup & Pinjarra Cup are his likely aims.

[Sands]

Thought Guyno had retired after being injured his last start (Adelaide Cup)
Very surprised he is back in work with the colic attack as well

[Sands]

So when will Guyno be back on track?

[MyHatMyCoat]

Was expecting Guyno to run tomorrow but can't see him. Should resume soon.

[Sands]

OK Hat I'll keep a watch for something soon

Didn't see the race, ran 5th Mornington Cup today. Slow to begin according to the stewards report. Guess she would have been doing her best work late.

[kiwiz]

Top run Drunken Sailor same race

Not a bad run resuming today. Will obviously benefit.

Western Jewel was caught wide for most of the race but did still finish off ok

[Rogan Josh]

Since seen the replay, thanks kiwiz. 54.5kg in the Adelaide Cup. Runs tomorrow, Roy Higgins Quality, predicted wet track probably no help.

[jake]

Top run Drunken Sailor same race
..another top run today..hard to beat adelaide cup

[Rogan Josh]

Yeah looked home jake, but the weight difference told.
Western Jewel not sighted! Where to from here, the handicapper at home will have her measure, most likely.
