Most of these seem to be on a collision course on the first day of the New Year in the Perth Cup. Real Love has been most impressive this campaign finishing no further back than second, and she is right in this race as a big winning chance today. Of course she ran third in the Derby last season so the distance here does tend to suit her down to the ground, she can get a fair way back but is always finishing on in her races and she may just have the class on the others in this edition of the Queens Cup, a race we dont see here too often. The other major chance looks to be Son Of Something, he probably did too much work last start which dulled his finishing sprint, he was certainly there at the 150 metres, but the tough run told in the end, from a nice draw here he shouldnt doo much work in running, he looks the main danger to Real Love. Lucciola looked to be coming back into form last start when a close fifth to Global Flirt, she and jockey Lucy Warwick were the stars of Belmont earlier this year stringing eight wins on the trot together, look for her to keep improving as the distances increase, and one at good odds may be Red Blast, he has been up for a while but continues to run just behind the placegetters, only narrowly beaten in the Global Flirt race a fortnight ago.
