RACE 7Lexus Andrew Ramsden, 3200m
12. Cadre Du Noir | J: Harry Coffey
Cadre Nu Noir returns here a month between runs, with Harry Coffey down to ride (also booked for Alakahan). He was badly held up two starts back, and had to work very hard from the outside barrier to find his spot on the speed last time out, tiring late. Up to the 2800m and from barrier 6, Harry will look to have him jump positively with pace likely to come from Hezashocka, Rebel Racer and White Marlin. This race has a long tail, and we think he’ll run better than his price suggests.
DANGERS: 10. WHITE MARLIN, 3. HEZASHOCKA, 18. EL PATRONESS

14. Herman Hesse | J: Beau Mertens
Herman Hesse steps out here after a pleasing run in the Mornington Cup, running the second-fastest last 600m, 400m and 200m of the race, running to within a length of his career-best rating. He’s a genuine stayer who should have no problems stepping up to the 2800m, having raced over this trip in the UK prior to joining the stable. From barrier 3, Beau Mertens will look to be positive and have him box-seated behind the speed. Whilst not gaining any favours with the weights, this race has a long tail, and we see him having an EW chance to book his ticket into the Melbourne Cup.
DANGERS: 10. WHITE MARLIN, 3. HEZASHOCKA, 18. EL PATRONESS

19. Alakahan | J: Harry Coffey
This has been the target race for Alakahan, following what was a frustrating run in the Sydney Cup. On the tough going and having jumped awkwardly, we were pleased with how close he was able to finish, being one of only a couple of runners who made ground in the straight. From barrier 8, Harry Coffey (also booked for Cadre Nu Noir) will look to ride him where he’s comfortable, getting into clear running in the straight where he can hopefully hit the line nicely. This race has a long tail, and we think he’ll also run better than his price suggests.
DANGERS: 10. WHITE MARLIN, 3. HEZASHOCKA, 18. EL PATRONESS
