2024 Sydney Cup Tips
2024 Sydney Cup Best Bet - Athabascan
This John O-Shea-trained import was gelded after failing to finish in last year's Chairman's Quality and as far as 2400m+ runs go, his form since then has been very consistent.
The five-year-old brought up back-to-back stakes wins last spring and he then remained competitive in three Melbourne runs, with the last of those being a narrow defeat on Derby Day.
With the Sydney Cup being the target this campaign, Athabascan has been ticking over well in three autumn outings, which included a last start fourth in the Group 1 Tancred Stakes.
After carrying 59kg at WFA level, he's much better placed here back to handicap conditions with 52kg and under an-form Tyler Schiller, I think he only runs well at an each-way quote.
2024 Sydney Cup Next Best Bet - Circle Of Fire
Ciaron Maher has prepared two of the last four Sydney Cup winners and while the ceiling is unknown with this entire, he's more talented than Explosive Jack and Etah James.
Circle Of Fire is now out to two miles for the first time after prevailing in last Saturday's Chairman's Quality and he was travelling like the winner a long way out in that 2600m affair.
The Chairman's has been a good reference in recent years, with The Offer, Grand Marshal, Shraaoh, Selino and Knight’s Order all having won the Sydney Cup after contesting that lead-up.
While he's versatile, his best two Australian runs have both come off cold rides, so a wide draw isn't the end of the world and he did race off an eight-day back-up when in Europe.
2024 Sydney Cup Value Bet - Manzoice
The 2022 Victoria Derby winner hasn't saluted since taking out that Flemington feature, however, there has been more encouraging signs since the blinkers were applied earlier this prep.
A galloper who has effectively shown nothing since that Derby triumph, Manzoice has been much more competitive over his last three showings, which includes a last start second.
He was no match for Post Impressionist in the Manion Cup, however, it looks as though Chris Waller has him back on track and the gelding looks ready to eat up two miles now.
Manzoice might be wanting another lap going off recent runs, as he's a very dour type, but being down in the weights for an even staying contest, he among the each-way contenders.
