MURRAY COX HANDICAP
Results
MIRZANN (11) made his Australian debut at Caulfield and hit the line well for second over 1700m. Gets a bigger field and track here along with an extra 100m which will aid his cause. He drops 6.5kg in weight and draws well with D Lane taking the ride. CADMUS (5) beat Mirzann at Caulfield last time. He probably doesn't have the upside but is hard to knock in the form he's in. EUPHORIC (6) drops in class having finished close up in a slowly run race over 2000m last start. This trip should be perfect for him. ASGOODASSOBERGETS (4) ran quite well first up at Mornington and will strip fitter. Can figure. FOUJITA SAN (2) was just fair first up but did run well second up last time in and can improve quickly.

Most recently did the work up front then tired 6th of 12 at Rosehill Bm94 on April 27 over 1800m, 2.25 len behind Let'srollthedice with 55kg at $7.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at Gosford Bm94 on April 10 over 1600m, slow going 3.5 len behind Bethencourt with 56.5kg at $3.50. Racing okay but look elsewhere.
Group 2 placegetter. Second-up. First-up after four months 9th of 15 at Caulfield Bm84 on May 4 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Chorlton Lane carrying 59.5kg at $51.
