Blutigeroo, Friday:
Trainer Colin Little reported to stewards the gelding had been off his feed for a couple of days and was some doubt of not taking his place in the Caulfield Cup line-up.

But news was better this morning with Blutigeroo returning to normal and leaving Little scratching his head.

“He'd been off his feed but ate up again last night and worked well this morning,” Little said.

“He hasn't missed any work, his blood count is normal, he hasn't had a temperature and he hasn't had a cough. We just don't know.”

Little said a final decision would be made tonight but he seems fine and doesn't see any reason not to run.
