Looking at the NZ entries
Mongolian Khan 7/2 top show,,should slot in midfield or better,,hard to beat
Who Shot Thebarman 25/1,,bad gate but with a bit of luck should be getting home strong
Volkstok'n'barrell 25/1,,should race on the pace,,on best form a chance
Lucia Valentina 33/1,,bad gate but with a bit of luck should be getting home strong
Rising Romance 10/1,,no luck last start,,hard to beat

2. Snow Sky - strong overseas form, good barrier, Ollie on board
6. Mongolian Khan - looks ready to put in a big run
17. Set Square - unlucky last start, light weight, luck from barrier should run a big race
12. Hauraki - should now be race fit, meets Mongolian Khan 2kgs better ATC Derby 2nd

Job well done Murray Baker,,Opie Bosson & of course Mongolian Khan

Quite interesting to see the stewards questioning trainer and jockey over Fame Game's tactics for nearly two hours.
Now he slips into the big Cup with no penalty.
It seems the Japanese trainers are a bit more savvy about Australian racing than the UAE.
