Eagle Farm   27 Jun 2026
 
GOING: S(5)

TATTERSALL'S CUP (3YO & UP) (SW&P) - GROUP 3 2400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +7m 1000m-W/Post; +6m Remainder.  

Only a small field with Future History likely to find a comfortable lead. ASTERIX (1) will appreciate the drop in grade after being well held in his last couple. Came from near last to win the Gosford Cup over 2100m three back which is probably the most reliable recent form reference. Has won two from four at this trip and is in the right race to add to that record. FUTURE HISTORY (2) gave up an early lead then came again to just miss in a driving finish over 1800m at Eagle Farm last start. Cherry ripe after a couple of runs back from a spell and is looking for this sort of journey now. FAWKNER PARK (3) has had two runs over the mile in Listed company this prep and not made an impact. Scored at his only other try over 2400m. Three-time Group One placegetter who finds the right race to return to form. ETNA ROSSO (4) loomed up on the corner in the Brisbane Cup last start but was gone a stride later. Struggling for form but this looks a more suitable assignment. POUNDING (5) surprised most in the Q22 last time. Big chance if that wasn't a fluke. SUGGESTED PLAY: Asterix to win.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd of 9 at this track in the G2 Q22 Wfa on June 13 over 2200m, on heavy track; 1.5 len behind Royal Supremacy with 59kg at $61. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 14 at Flemington in the LR Ramsden on May 16 over 2800m, 0.8 len behind Zakouma with 58.5kg at $10. Thereabouts last time out. Going better than these and should not be underestimated.
