Australian Cup Form Guide & Tips

(1) Light Infantry Man ($8.50)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Money has come for Light Infantry Man, won a Group 1 win Perth earlier this season. However, he will need to improve to beat this field.

We’re not surprised to see some specking for him at the price, but a first four inclusion is about the best place we rank him.

(2) Attrition (Best Roughie – $16.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

There was nothing wrong with his second placing last time out and he’s good enough to win at Group 1 level with the right run in transit.

He gets a strong rider on board with John Allen, and given the $16 odds, we can’t leave him out of our Australian Cup picks.

(3) Young Werther ($46.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

He runs the odd good race, but he’s far too inconsistent at the top level to include. Look for him to win something easier during the autumn.

(4) Middle Earth (Best Each Way – $5.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

It was a terrific Australian debut for Middle Earth, and he’s another former European with his eyes set on bigger targets.

He gathered momentum down centre track to win last start, and there is massive upside with this runner. Therefore, we’re loving the $5 odds from bookmakers, and he could cause a mini upset over Pride of Jenni with the right run.

(5) Shaiyhar ($46.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The future looked bright for Shaiyhar when he first came to Australia, but despite owning a win and three placings from his last four starts, he has been somewhat disappointing.

He’s looking for something easier than the Australian Cup, so we’re not including him this time around.

(6) Pride of Jenni (Best Bet – $3.10)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Returning from a bleed/retirement isn’t easy, but the champion mare made it look easy when breezing home last time out.

It was a great return in the Peter Young Stakes, and she looks as good as ever. Therefore, despite facing a deeper field, she is the one to beat.

(7) Atishu ($7.50)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The pace up front with Pride of Jenni will be strong, so that bodes well for Atishu. She likes to get back and storm home, so she’ll get every chance to score.

There has been steady money come for her, which is always a good sign for a Chris Waller-trained runner.

(8) Zardozi ($9.50)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

It’s hard to believe Zardozi started as the favourite against Pride of Jenni last start when running second. He’s a dour staying type and was never going to wear down the runaway leader.

He should be better suited over 2000m, but a placing could be his best result.

(9) Deny Knowledge ($11.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The seven-year-old mare scored a good fresh up win, and her best form is good enough to win the Australian Cup.

She is a runner that could apply pressure to Pride of Jenni up front, which is worrying, but she could have to lead the field up, and that doesn’t often bode well.

(10) Feroce ($10.00)

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The three-year-old gets in with only 54.5kg on his back and we liked what we saw last time out. That was a good win over a quality field, so he has upside.

We can’t leave him out of our Australian Cup tips at the odds.
