R7. CB Cox Stakes - 1 January 1970
|
This race looks ready made for Elite Belle
The decision to run Balmont Girl, Real Love and Respondent in the St Leger earlier in the day has really given Elite Belle a very good chance of going out from this preparation on a good note today. I dont suppose Bob Peters could have held hoped for much more from his star mare with a Railway Stakes and Prince Of Wales Stakes win the highlight of her recent efforts. He should get a nice bonus with a win in the time honoured Perth Cup lead up race today. A lot of these gallopers are past their prime its probably fair to say, Elite Belle is certainly not in that category, she should sprint home over the top of these and the rise to 2100 metres shouldnt be any problem. Bass Strait looks the main danger, coming off a couple of good runs in the States big two feature races at his last two starts, the win in the Bob Peters stakes was very good before that. One at odds may be Red Blast, probably not suited with the conditions of this race, but he has been in very nice form for a while now, and didnt get a run at them at his last start at all. Lucciola looks best of the rest, no doubt looking towards the Perth Cup in a fortnight, she is approaching peak fitness now.

I will add, though that I hope Bob Peters thinks long and hard when considering an Autumn campaign for Disposition. It would be awfully hard to resist an Australian Guineas-Australian Cup campaign but the way Ihtsahymn has dropped off from last year is a worry...

Having watched the replay of the Cox Stakes I think the only way Steven Parnham erred on Ihtsahymn was that he didn't hold his position when Pike crowded him in the home straight on Elite Belle before taking his run over the closing stages. Parnham then had to...

I was close in my prediction. Mr Moet - 59kg Ihtsahymn - 58.5kg Chester Road - 58kg Balmont Girl - 57kg Remainder - 54kg Real Love on the 54kg minimum will start a very short priced favourite

i think Respondant is the one to beat. Will outstay them imo Hopefully B Parnham is not on bit fear he will be.....should have won last start... Real Love certainly not home and hosed. But looks the one to beat. Peters will fill the trifecta no problem, ...

i think Respondant is the one to beat. Will outstay them imo Won a walk and sprint Derby out of a sprinting mare Avenida Madero RL bred to stay all day ,if the ST Leg was 2400m RL would have won by 5 L untouched
