Admire Rakti now around 5/1

Connections very confident after today's effort

I think you'll find that James McDonald has switched
Now to ride Willing Foe

Thought he may have got more (penalty) but still, has to carry 58.5 kg

Think Admire Rakti would have received more had the handicapper not already allotted 58kg
Was as impressive (if not more) as Caravan Rolls On
That horse received a 1.5kg penalty

Moonee Valley Cup winner Prince Of Penzance, 2kg Melbourne Cup penalty

Big Memory given 2kg penalty for winning Herbert Power Stakes. Admire Rakti definitely lucky imo.

race doesn't look overly strong this year
Admire Rakti in with a top chance to clinch the big double

Bande sustained a tendon injury,,back home without a race
Dandino,,injury off-fore leg
Decision pending,,continue to race or retire & sell to stud
Gris Caro making good progress from foreleg bruising
Perhaps the Emirates Stakes and / or heading west to the Perth,,Kingston Town Classic
