A aggressive discipline of 11 contenders will vie for the $400,000 Group 2 prize, with the European import Principally Cloudy main the cost.
Skilled by Trent Busuttin & Natalie Younger, Principally Cloudy sits atop the Brisbane Cup betting charts at $2.60 by way of Ladbrokes.
The five-year-old Harzand gelding boasts successful expertise as much as 3318m in Europe and has been working competitively in his Australian marketing campaign.
Regardless of only one win down underneath, he completed a detailed second within the Listed Andrew Ramsden (2800m) at Flemington final day out.
A major weight drop to 55kg (prone to carry 56kg after closing weights) within the Brisbane Cup discipline is a giant benefit after carrying 58.5kg in his earlier race.
In-form jockey Blake Shinn might be within the saddle, and an excellent barrier draw (4) provides to Principally Cloudy’s favouritism.
Amade, the evergreen veteran skilled by Phillip Stokes, presents a reputable menace at $4.50.
The ten-year-old comes off a dominant victory within the Listed Sandown Cup (3200m) simply two weeks in the past, carrying extra weight than he’ll within the Brisbane Cup (58.5kg).
Jockey Daniel Stackhouse might be aboard as Amade seems to be to defy his age and proceed his successful streak.
The Brisbane Cup guarantees to be an open race with a number of different runners underneath $10.
Bjorn Baker‘s Alegron ($6) has proven enchancment in his current outings, whereas Chris Waller‘s defending champion Selino ($9) is aiming to turn into the primary back-to-back winner since Honest Patton (1964-65).
Goldman ($9) is one other contender coming off a third-place end within the Premiers Cup.
