With it looking like potentially Via Sistina's to lose , we have a decent challenger!
The front running style suits MV , and this is the leadup race that LG won before her CP win




A Yutaka Take masterclass booked Meisho Tabaru a spot in the Cox Plate when taking out Sunday's Group 1 Takarazuka Kinen (2200m) in Japan.

The legendary 56-year-old jockey took his mount ($11.40 shot) straight to the front and delivered a perfect steer, outlasting his rivals to win comfortably on the line for trainer Mamoru Ishibashi.

It was Take's fifth win in the feature race run at Hanshin Racecourse and his 84th Japan Racing Association Group 1.

The Moonee Valley Racing Club has extended a subsidised invitation to the horse's connections to contest Australia's premium weight-for-age race in October, which will be the last time the Cox Plate will be run at Moonee Valley as we know it.

Meisho Tabaru's victory also secured him a start in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Del Mar on November 1, should connections choose to head to the USA.

If the owners of Parchment Party are legitimately looking to bring him out for the Cup (lol) then you would imagine World Beater owned by the same team would also be a realistic chance of coming out for the Cox Plate after winning the Saratoga Derby the other day

Hahahaha a Yank dirt horse in the cup, at least you would get your money back in the sweep

Interesting AOB nominees

DID NOT think he’d be back

Bedtime Story would be a huge shot
I think a lot of the O'brien nominees get nominated because they are either trying to sell them to Australian interests or think they might be at some point.

I wouldn't be touching any of them in futures betting unless they are sold.

Lol what? Because we didn't get an Obrien slowy in the mix?

Its literally looking like one of the better ones we have had with VS and TTM elite. Aeliana and Sir D not far off them. Then chuck in Antino and Mr B as quality third stringers

Hopefully they get on top of TTMs colic quickly.
 
Sir Delius not being favourite right now seems crazy. Going better than anything else at the moment and has the ability to settle in front of most of them
 
Gai has it fit and is cashing in. Via will kick its brains in at the valley. Unless a 3yo bobs up, highly unlikely
