Punters might like to know Wonderful World will have 'bar-plates' on today.

.....and probably a fair comment from Phil :-)

'Court Command has to go away from home for the first time, quickly settle in to different surroundings, drink different water, race in a different direction and race over a distance he is untested at. On top of that he has a jockey on him who probably has only seen Caulfield track on a replay of a former Caulfield Cup – and the bookies and fixed odds operators say he’s a $2.35 chance. How generous'!

Considering the runners, I think calling the race a G1 is perhaps a bit of a farce [they have over-watered again too apparently, just like last week at Flemington]. Most of the runners in this race seem to have more form-reversal on their books than Collingwood. A handicapping nightmare.
