Either way Mandela only drops to 50kgs in the cup which although a good weight alot of horses will meet him better for that run yesterday still if he got out to around the $50 mark cup day I wouldn't leave him out

I came to the conclusion mid race of what they were doing on him.
By putting him up just off the pace, they were stripping him fitter for the big one. Keeping the pace up will fine tune him and set him up well for the biggy.
They will no doubt ride him from the back or worse than midfield and make a run at the 400m.
I'm still very happy to have my wager on him 
At this point I think Tawqeet and On A Jeune make a very nice quinella. |
