Before anyone pulls me up on my glaring mistake, I should say I meant Eye Popper should have won running away from 'Raillings' in C/C [had the Diva on my mind so typo followed].

So that's my Cup pick, Eye Popper if the jockey doesn't decided to spend the whole race on the outside of the field, although Raw Instinct might have a valid point in his comments.
Interestingly, over 3200m in Japan, Eye Popper beat the Diva by 3 lengths while carrying 4kg. more than her. The weight tables have now turned from a 4kg. disadvantage in Japan against the Diva, to a 4kg. advantage [Eye Popper 54kg. for the cup] here and in a favorite distance range.
