The 2012 Australia Day Cup is the feature event at Warwick Farm this Thursday on the Australia Day Program.
The race will be run at Listed level with $100,000 up for grabs for the first horse across the 2400m trip.
The final field for the Australia Day Cup was released today and there’s plenty of quality about it as well.
While there may only be 10 acceptors from a maximum of 18 some of the names on the list are certainly worthy of Group racing.
Gai Waterhouse is the major feature, the trainer producing King Lionheart, the horse that got all the way to Group 1 level during the spring and Kontiki Park, a last start winner during the Gold Cast Magic Millions.
She won’t have things all her own way though and there’s certainly a bit of competition around her.
Peter Snowden’s main hopes will be relying on up and comer Peck while Yulalona is also consistently around the money.
The same could be said for old school galloper Legsman for John O’Shea which just never stops trying.
Wazn will also be a feature for Chris Waller along with stablemate and winner of his past two starts Permit, the UK import.
Throw into the mix Winning Glory for David Payne, Zoomania from the Moody juggernaut and Palasport from staying specialist Gregory Hickman and it’s one hell of a line up for a Listed event.
