Awesome to see the time honoured Golden Eagle dominating sky marketing in the lead up to this weekend
My concern with him is he can tend to overdo it. I agree his run was massive the other day but I think a strong tempo helped him in that regard.
If they drop anchor in the MC he could find himself pulling again. Still a work in progress for mine, but I wouldn’t try and talk anyone out of him.
Ah yes, dreaded WFA form for a handicap. How bad it is.Camel fappers still going down with the ship.
Not sure how dropping to a handicap is a plus. He is in poorly at the weights and even meets the Dragon worse off

Taking Russian Camelot in isolation, it is blindingly obvious that dropping to a handicap is a positive.Like I said he meets the winner worse off and tell me a NH 3yo that has had to carry more than 53.5
Has a NH 3yo carrying that weight ever been defeated?

Based on the fact that the Cox Plate was the best 2000m+ race so far this season, and he comes out of it with a big weight drop.
But for the other 22 horses he is racing it is a positive he is going WFA to HCP.and Jug's right, the only relative weight factor is weight swing. He could carry 50kg but if Sir D goes around with 35kg it means nothing. 53.5kg is very, very harsh IMO. I gave him 52.5 in the MC thread OP and that's before something like AVD was nominated.
I’ll see your Mugatoo and raise you a The Chosen One. Plate definitely a stronger race for mine.To be honest to the eye the CP looked poor, It's a Cox Plate so it has a base performance that is quite high but barely scrapes in for mine. Mugatoo hard luck story coming out of a metrop I mean seriously cant be that good. I suspect AQ or RC go to their previous bests and they win or go very close. Heavy track at the valley it's a no form me. Prefer the CC especially the first two coming through toward top of weight scale with good margins back in the field.

And SD is only one horse. SD can still be relatively well in at the weights.
