Brisbane Cup – 2023

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Competitive race. Teofilio Star maps well from barrier 1 and can give these something to catch. Kukeracha is a quality galloper enhanced by the booking of J-Mac. Al Aabir was a strong last start winner and can go on with things in this while Warning will be hitting the line with plenty of intent and looks suited to this field.

1. Kukeracha (2)

Class runner. Has a sticky draw and large weight to contend with but finds the right race. Hard to beat.

2. Platinum Invador (16)

Won this race last year. Seemed to have its chance last start. Each way hope here.

3. Selino (13)

Maps well and has the right running pattern to give this a shake. Top 2 hope.

4. Nerve Not Verve (14)

Good win last start. Putting 2 in a row has to be some query but goes in the mix off that effort.

5. True Marvel (8)

Good return over the jumps. Should prove hard to beat in this.

6. Southern France (4)

Prefer others.

7. Al Aabir (5)

String win last start and can measure up in this from the kind draw. The price is ideal and this race suits.

8. Warning (10)

Hit the line hard last start. Has a bit in its favour in this affair and just needs even luck to go close.

9. Teofilio Star (1)

Flying this prep. Maps to lead these up and should give a bold sight from there. Hard to beat.

10. Outlandos (12)

Prefer others.

11. Tappy’s Lad (7)

Needs a fair bit of luck from there. Leaning to others.

12. Yaphet (6)

Racing well enough and has claims in this. Should get a nice run from the draw.

13. Long Arm (9)

Hard to beat with a tow into this race. Has claims.

14. Southern Stock (15)

Can’t have.

15. Essential Sky (3)

Prefer others.

16. Credit Crunch (11)

Can’t have.
