rounds out the Group 1\u2019s from Flemington on \u2018Super Saturday.\u2019 Perhaps not a<br \/>\nvintage edition of the race, with the likes of Lohnro, Makybe Diva, Vo Rogue and Bonecrusher all past<br \/>\nwinners, the 2021 edition certainly looks a race up for grabs with angles galore for punters and a<br \/>\nhealthy dividend the reward for finding the winner. Fifty Stars is looking to go back-to-back in the<br \/>\nrace and is your current early favourite at $4.40, after a strong run last week in the Blamey when<br \/>\nrunner up to Star Of The Seas. With the rail out 5 metres, expecting horses to be getting further away<br \/>\nfrom the rails by this stage of the day and looking to find the middle lanes.<\/p>\n<h3>SPEED<\/h3>\n<p>Speed looks fairly average here. MISS SISKA and HOMESMAN look the two most likely to search for<br \/>\nthe lead with PARADEE using her gate from 1 to sit on their backs. SAN HUBERTO, HARLEM and BEST<br \/>\nOF DAYS are all sent forward to look for positions just off them. STEEL PRINCE won\u2019t be far away from<br \/>\nHARLEM, CHAPADA and SHARED AMBITION. PLATOON, NONCONFORMIST and WARNING settle<br \/>\nworse than midfield. HUMIDOR, MIAMI BOUND, DEFIBRILLATE and the favourite FIFTY STARS all look<br \/>\nlike going back.<\/p>\n<h3>KEY RUNNERS<\/h3>\n<p>8. <strong>STEEL PRINCE<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebet.com.au\/Australian-Racing\/Flemington\/Race-8\/7780505\/win\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$12<\/a>) (Jamie Kah\/Anthony &amp; Sam Freedman)<\/p>\n<p>Thought that Steel Prince represented some value in this contest second up after a very brave effort<br \/>\nin the Peter Young (1800m) when caught wide for the majority of the trip. Was forced to work and<br \/>\ndespite the blanket finish, he still managed to record the 3rd fastest last 200m of the race. Second up<br \/>\nlast preparation he went huge when running within a length of Orderofthegarter at 2000m in a very<br \/>\nhigh rating race. Gets back to Flemington now where he has a very strong record and the draw looks<br \/>\nperfect. Should allow him to roll forward and find a running line position, and then get to the middle<br \/>\nof the track in the straight which may be advantageous by this time of the day. Also gets the services<br \/>\nof J Kah. At the $12 on offer he looks a bet.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>FIFTY STARS<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebet.com.au\/Australian-Racing\/Flemington\/Race-8\/7780505\/win\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$4.40<\/a>) (John Allen\/Tom Dabernig &amp; Ben Hayes)<\/p>\n<p>Fifty Stars gets his chance to claim back-to-back Australian Cups after claiming the 2020 edition. He<br \/>\nbrings arguably as good a form as last year into this year\u2019s race after a huge run last start in the<br \/>\nBlamey where he was only just outlasted by the well credentialled Sydney galloper, Star Of The Seas.<br \/>\nHard to knock this horse, especially after what he produced in the Spring when he ran a huge race in<br \/>\nthe Cantala and then bravely chased home Arcadia Queen when 2nd in the Mackinnon. That\u2019s A<br \/>\ngrade form. Certainly saves his best for Flemington and will be even more suited by the step up to<br \/>\n2000m. My only niggle with him is the gate. Inside draws for map negative horses is never a good<br \/>\nthing and I can see him getting a long way off them here. If Johnny Allen can get to the outside<br \/>\nthough he\u2019s obviously a very good chance to run over the top of them.<\/p>\n<p>9. <strong>CHAPADA<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebet.com.au\/Australian-Racing\/Flemington\/Race-8\/7780505\/win\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$21<\/a>) (Daniel Stackhouse\/Mike Moroney)<\/p>\n<p>Want to also make a case for this galloper after a strong resumption when hitting the line hard in the<br \/>\nPeter Young. Got back on that occasion and was closer to the fence (the worst going on the day)<br \/>\ncompared to some of his rivals so I think the run had considerable merit. Was strung up for room for<br \/>\nmuch of the straight and looked to have much more to give going through the line. The sectionals<br \/>\nback that up, with him running the 2nd quickest 4-200 sectional of the race before finding traffic and<br \/>\nonly recording the 5th fastest last 200m. The fact that he did something first up, where in the past he<br \/>\nhas needed a few runs to come to hand is a huge positive and the market told you that as he was<br \/>\n$15-$12. He\u2019s another that will really appreciate the rise in trip and he maps nicely to find the lanes<br \/>\nin the straight. Think he can win.<\/p>\n<h3>STRATEGY<\/h3>\n<p>STEEL PRINCE (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebet.com.au\/Australian-Racing\/Flemington\/Race-8\/7780505\/win\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$12<\/a>) &amp; CHAPADA (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluebet.com.au\/Australian-Racing\/Flemington\/Race-8\/7780505\/win\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$21<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Ultra competitive race that looks very tough from a wagering perspective but I\u2019m looking to play the<br \/>\nrace a little wider with bets on Steel Prince and Chapada. Think they both represent value stepping<br \/>\nto the 2000m after strong resumptions and crucially, I think they map in the right spot to be able to<br \/>\nblend into this race at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>GOOD LUCK PUNTERS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUSTRALIAN CUP PREVIEW GROUP 1 2000M RAIL +5M ENTIRE GOOD 4 # Form Horse Trainer Jockey (barrier) Weight (kg) Current Price 1 230&#215;4 HUMIDOR C WALLER D LANE (12) 59 $13 2 54&#215;78 HARLEM T DABERNIG &amp; B HAYES M WALKER (7) 59 $26 3 52&#215;72 FIFTY STARS T DABERNIG [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":15040,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1217],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-horse-racing"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12562"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16652,"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12562\/revisions\/16652"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prdextblog01.bluebet.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
