What an absolute joke if Confectioner doesn't get a start in the Cup - one of the in-form WFA horses in the country. Both his last two runs have been the best Cup trails so far. Promote him into the field for God's sake.

Can anyone explain how all these overseas horses somehow manage to find themselves at or near the top of the order of entry??

Also, no way out-of-former's like Stella Grande & Hollow Bullet deserve a run in the Cup based on their Spring performances.

If it was up to me Confectioner, Railings, Stormhill, Lachlan River, Sir Dex, Mr Celebrity & Activation all should be promoted into the field if the connections wanted to run. They are all in form and would make for a great race. To hell with the imports.
