Gee, tough race. Gai Waterhouse has Pheidon engaged. On pace horse which should be suited at Ascot. 13/1 both totes, worth a bit, maybe.

Reserves out, all racing in other events, might be worth watching

One for the visitors. Veteran stayer Moriarty beat the locals in the Kingston Town Classic. 10th Group 1 win for the season for Chris Waller.
Well ridden by Hong Kong’s champion jockey Douglas Whyte, who replaced the suspended Nash Rawiller. Moriarty has now won 13 races from 52 starts, total prize money $1,665,440.

Moriarty would have to be the one to beat in the upcoming C.B. Cox Stakes

Moriarty not in the C B Cox, gone back home.

“King William” Pike strikes again! Piloted Real Love to lead all the way to win the Perth Cup. Real Love appeared vulnerable in the straight but dug deep & found another gear to draw away & win by 1½ lengths. Real Love has now won 5 races from 13 starts, total prize money $ 623,810. The Adam Durrant-trained mare could be tried on the eastern coast sometime in the near future.
