Resuming. Only had one start last campaign 2nd in a small field in the G3 Irish St Leger Trial Stakes at Curragh on August 22 over 2816m, 4.5 len behind Queenstown carrying 61kg at $4.30. First up last campaign ran second last of 11 in a 4yo+ Hcp at Navan on March 30 over 2816m, on heavy track; 80 len behind Mordor carrying 60.5kg at $9.50. Mixed overseas form, latest run is solid form.

Irish visitor. Settled third and just outlasted Melbourne Cup favourite Defiantly to win over 4013m at Royal Ascot. Runner-up over 2816m since.

Returns from a 63-day break after finishing runner-up over 2816m at Curragh, having recorded wins at Royal Ascot and Killarney earlier this year. The stamina profile is compelling, although his Australian form is untested.

Recent form sound. Last start sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 in a G2 The Metropolitan at Randwick on October 3 over 2400m, slow going 1.75 len behind Juja Kibo with 55kg at $2.80. Before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len in the G3 Newcastle Cup on September 18 over 2300m defeating Steel Blaze carrying 54kg at $1.20. Tough draw but rolls forward and can bounce back.

Won four straight before being outlasted by Juja Kibo when rising in class. Reasonably weighted here. Give another chance.

Eight-up and remains consistent after finishing second in a G2 over 2400m, beaten 1.7 lengths; that followed five straight wins. He maps on pace and the 2500m looks suitable, making him a leading hope.

Second-up. First-up after three months came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 in the G2 Hill Stakes at Rosehill on October 10 over 1900m, 2.25 len behind Attrition carrying 59kg at $21. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 16 in a Bm78 at Gosford on May 9 over 2100m, neck behind Monopolistic carrying 58.5kg at $12. Very good return, X-factor horse having missed a lot of the Spring.

Ran on well when not suited at weight-for-age fresh at Rosehill. Won over 2400m and 2350m last prep. Fitter. Consider.

Second-up after finishing fourth in a Rosehill G2 over 1900m. Earlier wins over 2350m and 2400m confirm his staying credentials; an economical trail should suit and he is a major danger.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; won by a nose in the G2 Herbert Power Stakes at Caulfield on October 10 over 2400m defeating Suntora with 56kg at $3.70. The start before that favourite; won by a nose in a Bm88 at Rosehill on September 26 over 1900m defeating Starzintheireyes carrying 57kg at $12. Improving type, J-Mac sticks, very hard to beat.

Improving stayer who has closed from the second half for narrow wins at past two. In super form and among the chances again.

Fourth-up, he edged out a G2 win over 2400m at Caulfield last start with a strong finish. The 2500m is suitable and he is hard to beat.

Recent form sound. Last start came from midfield and won by 1.75 len in a G2 The Metropolitan at Randwick on October 3 over 2400m on a rain affected track defeating Aethelwulf carrying 56.5kg at $5.50. The run before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 14 in the G2 Kingston Town Stakes at Randwick on September 19 over 2000m, 0.9 len behind The Euphrates with 55kg at $7. Very sharp win last time and will take plenty of beating.

Improved again third up to win the Metropolitan. Placed in 13 of 16 in Australia. Include in multiples again.

Won the Randwick G2 over 2400m by 1.7 lengths after a close second over 2000m, and is now fourth-up. Drawn wide, he is likely to settle off the pace and will need cover, but his staying form gives him strong claims.

At the latest run ran on from midfield; 5th of 18 in the G1 Caulfield Cup on October 17 over 2400m, 2.5 len behind Kingswood with 51kg at $31. The race before that 9th of 13 in the G1 Turnbull Stakes at this track on October 3 over 2000m, on heavy track; 11 len behind Cosmic Crusader carrying 55kg at $151. Good last week, have to respect on the quick backup.

Backs up after getting bumped on the turn last week, then having to wait to get into the clear, in a closing fifth. Not as well weighted here. Place.

Seven-up, he was fifth in last week's Caulfield G1 over 2400m, beaten 2.4 lengths after closing from the rear. The increase from 51kg to 57kg is significant, making this a tougher test for his staying profile.

Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len in a G3 The Bart Cummings at this track on October 3 over 2520m in the wet defeating Litzdeel with 54kg at $8. Before that ran second last of 14 in the G2 Kingston Town Stakes at Randwick on September 19 over 2000m, 7 len behind The Euphrates with 56kg at $31. Too good here latest, have to include again.

Co-led and controlled it in the Bart Cummings at his first try on heavy. At best on wet tracks. Can settle in the first few and be competitive.

Won the Flemington G3 over 2520m by 1.3 lengths last start and is now fourth-up. This is a step up in class, but he still deserves respect.

The start before that 10th of 14 in the G2 Kingston Town Stakes at Randwick on September 19 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind The Euphrates carrying 56kg at $101. Much better last time and he's good enough on his day.

Placed but a long way from Mr Monaco on a heavy track here third up. Won here last spring. Fitter and has claims.

His latest effort was eighth in the Flemington G3 over 2520m on heavy ground, following a 10th over 2000m; he is now fourth-up. He has proven stamina, but recent results leave him with plenty to make up.

Going well but place probably best.

Ground to the line just outside the placings third up. Runner-up at previous. Can settle in the first few and make presence felt.

Seven-up, he finished fourth in a Caulfield G2 over 2400m after making late ground. The 2500m suits and he remains a solid chance.

Most recently ran second last of 9 in a G2 The Metropolitan at Randwick on October 3 over 2400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Juja Kibo carrying 56.5kg at $12. The start before that 8th of 16 in the G3 Naturalism Stakes at Caulfield on September 19 over 2000m, 2 len behind Zahrann with 55.5kg at $7. Looks tested.

Not far away in a blanket finish second up. Settled back and beat one home latest. Placed in one of eight since winning here in March 2025.

Fourth-up after consecutive eighths, most recently in the Randwick G2 over 2400m; his earlier third over 1700m is the more encouraging recent run. The pattern and rise to 2500m mean he needs to turn things around.

The start before that 7th of 13 in the G3 Jra Cup at Caulfield on September 27 over 2000m, 5 len behind Royal Supremacy carrying 54kg at $26. Others rate better this time.

Backmarker who finished off solidly in the Coongy fourth up. Placed in the SA Derby at latest run this trip. This is harder.

Five runs into the campaign, he was fifth in a Caulfield G3 over 2000m last start, beaten only 1.4 lengths. His earlier G1 third over 2518m is the stronger staying reference. The 2500m suits, though his recent form needs to improve.

The race before that 3rd of 11 in the G3 Archer Stakes at this track on September 12 over 2500m, 3.5 len behind Shockletz with 56.5kg at $6.50. It doesn't get any easier.

Was with Shockletz on the turn here two back, kept coming, no match. Lame on heavy latest. Likely to give them a start. Place preferred.

Fifth-up, he finished fourth in the Flemington G3 over 2520m but was reported lame and required a veterinary certificate. A previous third over 2500m shows his staying ability; soundness is the clear concern.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming got back early 10th of 13 in the G3 Jra Cup at Caulfield on September 27 over 2000m, 8 len behind Royal Supremacy carrying 56.5kg at $61. Last start ran last in a small field in the G1 Might And Power Stakes at Caulfield on October 10 over 2000m, 11 len behind Land Legend with 59kg at $101. Can improve up in trip but still a rough chance at best.

Beaten for speed throughout in a fast Might And Power. Only second up there. Three-length second when rising to this trip here last prep.

Three runs into the campaign, he was sixth in the Caulfield G1 over 2000m, beaten 11.5 lengths. The return to 2500m may draw on his previous staying form, but he needs a significant improvement on recent efforts.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming 14th of 16 in the G3 Naturalism Stakes at Caulfield on September 19 over 2000m, 6 len behind Zahrann with 55kg at $101. Last start ran second last of 13 in the G2 Herbert Power Stakes at Caulfield on October 10 over 2400m, 10 len behind Pinhole with 55.5kg at $71. Needs to lift.

VRC Oaks winner returning to that trip after finishing with the stragglers in both runs this time in. Fitter but needs to improve.

Third-up, he has finished 12th and 14th in G2 and G3 company in his last two starts; his G1 runner-up effort came in May. Current form is a major concern and he needs to respond markedly.

Most recently 4th of 14 in a Hcp at Hawera on October 3 over 2100m, in the wet; 1.4 len behind Donnybrook with 56.5kg at $15.90. The run before that 6th of 15 in the G3 Metric Mile at Trentham on September 19 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Knock Off carrying 53kg at $30. Outclassed.

Wellington Cup winner (3200m). Settled back and improved into the placings on a heavy track third up. Steps up in class. Minor claims.

In his fourth run of the campaign, he finished fourth over 2100m at Hawera on heavy ground, beaten 1.4 lengths. He won over 3200m earlier this year and has a solid staying record, but faces a significant class test in Australia.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up got back early 9th of 13 in the G3 Jra Cup at Caulfield on September 27 over 2000m, 8 len behind Royal Supremacy with 54kg at $91. Second run from a spell got back early 8th of 12 in the G3 Coongy Cup at Caulfield on October 14 over 2000m, 5 len behind Ziryab with 55.5kg at $151. Looks tested.

Has settled back in both runs this time in, passing a few in races won on the speed. Up in trip, fitter but needs to improve.

At his third run of the campaign, he finished eighth in a Caulfield G3 over 2000m last start after running ninth over the same distance. The recent sequence is below this level and he needs a major lift.

Form hard to fault. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 9 in a G2 The Metropolitan at Randwick on October 3 over 2400m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Juja Kibo carrying 59kg at $4.20. The race before that won by 0.9 len in the G2 Kingston Town Stakes at Randwick on September 19 over 2000m defeating Juja Kibo with 55kg at $5. Folded on Wednesday in the Geelong Cup.

On-pacer who held on for third carrying 59kg in the Metropolitan. Led and won at previous. Should take running down.

Third in the Randwick G2 over 2400m last start after winning a G2 over 2000m; this is his fourth run of the campaign. He is likely to control the race from the front and has strong winning claims.

Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.9 len in the G3 Atc St Leger Stakes at Randwick on October 17 over 2600m in soft going defeating Tempesti carrying 57.5kg at $3.30. The start before that favourite; won by a head in the G3 Colin Stephen Quality at Rosehill on September 26 over 2400m defeating Amplify with 58.5kg at $2.15. Key chance capable of going on with it.

In-form stayer who's won his past three after settling on the speed. More depth here but he's racing well enough to include in the better hopes.

On debut second in a small field at Great Yarmouth April 11 over 2011m, 0.5 len behind Del Maro carrying 59kg at $6.50. Respecting upside.

Lightly raced, superbly bred last-start Group 3 winner in the top local stable so merits respect. Northern-hemisphere three-year-old.

Returns after 107 days following a win over 2615m at Newmarket. Two wins from four career starts support his staying credentials; he has proven himself at the trip abroad and is a major market chance.

Finished off last preparation second last in a small field at Curragh in the G3 Royal Whip August 16 over 2011m, 7 len behind A Boy Named Susie carrying 61kg at $7. First up last campaign ninth of 12 at Curragh in the G3 Alleged Stks April 19 over 2011m, soft track; 8 len behind Starford with 59.5kg at $26. Mixes overseas form, fancy a few are better here.

Another Irish raider. Both wins came as three-year-old (2025). Form this year okay without breaking through. May find this more suitable.

Resumes from a 69-day break after finishing third over 2000m at Curragh, following a fourth at Leopardstown over 2400m. His wins came last season and he needs to improve on his latest form for this assignment.

Racing and Sports

THE EUPHRATES (1) held on well to finish third last time out over 2400m in the G2 The Metropolitan at Randwick after leading for much of the way. Well-placed and will take catching. AETHELWULF (12) has five wins and one placing from seven races this campaign. Found one better last start in the G2 The Metropolitan at Randwick over 2400m after being up on the pace all the way. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. JUJA KIBO (2) finished in the money at each run this campaign before a deserved win last time over 2400m in the G2 The Metropolitan at Randwick. Has found winning form. Should be involved again. PINHOLE (3) scored last start in the G2 Herbert Power Stakes at Caulfield to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Going well and must be respected.

Dabble

AETHELWULF (12) Ran home into 2nd last time at Randwick. Tracking very well this preparation. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Underrated. JUJA KIBO (2) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at Randwick and form has been improving over recent runs. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Good prospects. PINHOLE (3) Ran on hard when winning last time at Caulfield. On a winning streak the last 2 starts. Will be motoring home late. James Mcdonald is a bonus. Will be around the mark at odds. FUTURE HISTORY (8) Made up ground when 4th last time at Caulfield. William Pike rates highly. Exhibiting good form this preparation. Respect in this event.

Timeform (FanDuel)

Wide open edition of the Moonee Valley Cup. AETHELWULF (12) and JUJA KIBO (2) come through The Metropolitan and get the visitor's draws. Aethelwulf started $2.80 favourite there, going back to the fence perhaps wasn't ideal and the tempo was very slow. Juja Kibo was very good coming from just off the speed with a devastating turn of foot to win well. If Aethelwulf is still holding his form deep into the campaign he can turn the tables. PINHOLE (3) is a huge threat off a big win in the G2 Herbert Power, well backed in a driving finish. J-Mac sticks from a lovely middle gate and he's still on an upward spiral. Very wary of KING PEDRO (11) who had a setback leading into the Spring where he was early favourite for The Metropolitan. His return in the G2 Hill Stakes was a beauty, Lane on from a soft draw, just wonder if he's half a run short for this. MR MONACO (7) sat outside a moderate speed and won the G3 Bart Cummings nicely last time. Probably ridden colder here however.

Best Bets

Pace should be okay from Future History, Mr Monaco and The Euphrates (if here). Lightly raced stayer KING PEDRO ran on well behind Attrition fresh. He is suited by the rise from 1900m to 2500m. JUJA KIBO outlasted AETHELWULF in the Metropolitan. Aethelwulf meets him a kilo better. They've drawn the outside two gates, which isn't ideal. PINHOLE has closed hard to win his past two. The Irish visitor KIZLYAR can settle forward and give a sight.

Matthew Hill

The Moonee Valley Cup over 2500m offers the winner a last-chance automatic entry into the Melbourne Cup, and this year, with the race being run on this course, it will be a better guide than it usually is. 12. AETHELWULF has rushed through the grades this year, and booked his ticket south with a gutsy effort for second in the G2 Metropolitan at Randwick over 2400m 3 weeks ago. Craig Williams will test him out, and even from a wide gate, he should be very competitive again. 2. JUJA KIBO beat the top pick in the same race last start, and he has copped an even worse draw here, but with a long run until they reach the first bend he should have no trouble finding a good spot in the running. Stick with him. 3. PINHOLE won the Herbert Power at Caulfield 2 weeks ago, and only has to cope with an extra 2kg against a similar field here. JMac sticks, and so do we. 11. KING PEDRO was fourth fresh up over 1900m in the G2 Hill Stakes at Rosehill a fortnight ago. Include in all top 4 combos.

Racing Central

AETHELWULF (12) looks the likely leader and gets a prominent setup, with JUJA KIBO (2) close, PINHOLE (3) mapped to launch from behind and KING PEDRO (11) settling midfield. PINHOLE (3) comes off a G2 2400m win at Caulfield and looks suited by 2500m. JUJA KIBO (2) won the Randwick G2 over 2400m by 1.7 lengths and brings strong staying form. KING PEDRO (11) is second-up after a G2 fourth over 1900m, while earlier wins at 2350m and 2400m point to the trip being a plus. AETHELWULF (12) chased home JUJA KIBO (2) for second last start after a string of wins and maps prominently; he is a serious chance.
