Doomben Cup wrap up
Perlin saluted for us, and if you added Platinum Scissors and Natural Blitz (there was no rain) to your multiples you would have had a very good result.
Mr. Murphy was once again second, the weight telling in the end, despite getting the perfect run thanks to Noel Callow.
One from Sydney to follow next time - Hennessy Waltz. Got blocked for a run in the straight but still flashed home to grab second. We will be on her next time. Also on Sydney, nice to see an old fashioned plunge on Cashout - from 120-1 into 40-1. The horse was gelded since his last start. On that point, if there is a gear change more significant than gelding I would like to hear about it - such information should be reported to punters so they can be fully informed on what they are betting on. Kingston Town ran about 10 lengths last on debut, was gelded, and came back to be one of the true greats of the Australian turf, so that is the sort of impact that it can make.
I didn't mention the race yesterday, and it is very easy to be wise after the fact, but Eremein stepping up 620m was always going to be a liability, and he duly got done. The old saying 'odds on look on' is worth following more often than not.
