“Rain, Rain, Rain. Rain”
Let’s not kid ourselves, the horse to beat and the class of the field is Nyquist, with 5 world cups and one of the top trainers in the game but keep your eyes out on Mary Lou, if she is able to handle the slow conditions like the muddies she can be the biggest challenger in the race.

Stable comments: -“Nyquist will be trying to win his 6th world cup, but it won’t be easy. His time in the heat was very disappointing even though he won the race. Nyquist will have to improve if he has any chance of winning against this talented field. With 6 mud-larks in the race it looks wide open with several horses having a decent chance of winning.”

Stable comments: -“I have checked the horses in the race and 6 of 7 horses have run their best race at long slow track between 58.3 and 58.6. This race is like a wasp’s nest, any of the horses can win the race. I think I have a small chance with my horse Mary Lou but low experience at slow track and a lot of mudlarks in the field probably make it to difficult to win. But a good chance to be among top three. Favourite to win should be the experienced multiple cup winner Nyquist.”
