QUEEN ELIZABETH II CUP GROUP 1 1800m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 27) True |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
King Of Sixty-One, Lim's Saltoro and Mr Black Back will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Lim's Kosciuszko and Hole In One. Singapore's champion LIM'S KOSCIUSZKO (1) stalked Lim's Saltoro and tried hard but missed by the barest margin 1600m in the SGG1 Raffles Cup at this track last start. Will be tough to beat over the extra furlong in his search for a tenth Gr 1. Heir apparent LIM'S SALTORO (3) has scored at his last five starts, most recently by a nose over Lim's Kosciuszko in the Raffles Cup at this track. Building an ominous record and looks the only hope of toppling the champ again. Singapore Derby winner GOLDEN MONKEY (2) has been kept fresh since finishing in the Raffles Cup. Kept up to the mark with a recent trial placing. Doubt he can bridge the gap but he is a top three hope again. Multiple Group 3 winner BESTSELLER (6) is back from a 48 day freshen-up following a fourth in the SGG1 Singapore Derby at this track. Ticking along well with a recent trial placing. Among the top-three hopes.
