Married For Life
What A Rush’s consistent daughter Wife Doesn’t Play is a big mare, she has oodles of ability and boasts the heart of a lion. She could add to her win tally here. She is in prime form and looks very fit and ready to win again. That is certainly the way it appears on paper too. Jaguar Flyer is drawn against the paint but looks held by our first selection and will probably be relegated to place money again.
Aussie Man Sardean has been a model of consistency and ran well when stepping out last Saturday. The stable’s maiden cup win can’t be far away. Keladry is no slouch at best and will earn in this field.

1. Jaguar Flyer |
5yo stallion from flying spurs, Career earnings: $1,193,560 Overall rating: Excellent(62) – Mud-lark |

Lineage:By I’ve Soiled Myself out of Charley
Recent form:1,1,1,1,2

Stable comments: – “Ran as expected in the heats her weight was a bit low so with added weight may see her run the race out better. Sardean sprinter very impressive is the one to beat.”
2. Wife Doesn’t Play |
5yo mare from Troublemaker’s, Career earnings: $1,171,892 Overall rating: Grand(65) – Competitive |

Recent form:3,2,5,1,1

Stable comments: – “The rain is an issue for us, Wife Doesn’t Play broke the 5yo WR on slow winning her heat easy and with a lot left in the tank, but Mud-Larks in the heavy rain are extremely difficult to beat, we are not that confident for the final.”
3. Aussie Man Sardean |
5yo stallion from Sardean Lodge, Career earnings: $1,477,986 Overall rating: Grand(66) – Mud-lark |
|
eage:By Ozymandias out of Sardean

Stable comments: – “Well what can I say about Aussie? In the lead up to the Emerald I went back and watched some of his past finals and died a little inside all over again at the little mistakes that cost him his chances at a world cup. Once again we will have a red hot throw at the stumps, probably with the wrong jockey, but we will see how he ends up. The obvious danger is Wife Doesn’t Play who will come back in distance for the final. Good luck everyone.
4. Keladry |
5yo mare from Speed Breed, Career earnings: $1,261,861 Overall rating: Excellent(63) – Mud-lark |

Lineage:By Canus Sharif out of Arya Horseface
Recent form:1,2,1,1,3

Stable comments: – “Keladry has a chance maybe, but short distance races are not her specialty. The track condition will be slow or maybe even heavy, so the ML’s have the best chance. I would include Keladry in the top 3 or top 5, but she hasn’t performed well in previous Cup finals, so don’t hold your breath.”
5. Creeping Death |
5yo stallion from DoubleJ Ranch, Career earnings: $1,173,262 Overall rating: Excellent(61) – Breakaway |

Stable comments: – “4th in fastest heat and any improvement could see me finish in a top five position which would be my best result. The horses to beat are “Wife Doesn’t Play” and “Aussie Man Sardean“.
