2:55am - CHRISTMAS CUP | 2400m | Listed | i

Where have all the stayers gone? Only seven for the Listed Christmus Cup, five of those bred overseas. Fav' BROADSIDE will roll forward with HUNDRED for company at a STEADY tempo early, with a LONG SPRINT likely given the way BROADSIDE likes to race. He was dominant last start over 2000m fresh and is clearly the one to beat. PRINCE CHERI perhaps the threat if he can produce anywhere near his best, a tricky horse that needs cover for a short dash home, BROADSIDE might have sapped the energy out of him by the furlong mark. Most others could place apart from the Queenslander. GREEN SWEET Winkers OFF FIRST TIME. [updated 7:45am]
