Blutigeroo, Friday:
Trainer Colin Little reported to stewards the gelding had been off his feed for a couple of days and was some doubt of not taking his place in the Caulfield Cup line-up.

But news was better this morning with Blutigeroo returning to normal and leaving Little scratching his head.

“He'd been off his feed but ate up again last night and worked well this morning,” Little said.

“He hasn't missed any work, his blood count is normal, he hasn't had a temperature and he hasn't had a cough. We just don't know.”

Little said a final decision would be made tonight but he seems fine and doesn't see any reason not to run.

I am going for Princess Coup to overcome the wide barrier and win the CC. Was a good run at Hasting 2 weeks ago. Tri with Master, Maybe and Duoro to fill the placing.

Blutigeroo's too risky and I can't see a sudden turn-around in his poor form.

#5 MAYBE BETTER #8 MALDIVIAN #11 SCENIC SHOT #16 ESKIMO QUEEN #18 MASTER O'REILLY

this race has no pace.

maldivian should wait behind a couple week horses that will attempt to steal and maldivian will say bye bye at the top of the stretch.
