Well, the highlight of my racing life is fast approaching. Having a runner in the Gold Cup, naturally I am interested in everyones thoughts on it.

Wild Queen is going to make another good run and goes in as our biggest threat. Leading Bid also looks a big danger, along with the kiwi Juerga. Other than that, knowing my horse, I dont feel threatened by the rest of the "current" field.

County Tyrone is old, and failed in all 9 starts at this distance. Currently out of form, and has a poor 2nd up record, so he would rate as my lay of the day in this one.

Ideally, we want an inside barrier (1-4) so she can jump straight to the rails and burn up no fuel getting there. And she WILL get a rails sit. Jeff never misses it. She has never done the full 1600m before, but we arent about to let that worry us because we know she is capable of it.

Naturally, I am not going to think that she is a big chance in this, but it would certainly be welcome if she kept the Cup Local.

So anyway, enough from me. Whats everyone else think?
