Aussie hopes ready to rock NZ’s biggest majestic mountain
Aussie hopes ready to rock NZ’s biggest majestic mountain. The Australian raiders have made this New Zealand Cup a heartbeat. Both the emerging Rock N Roll Doo and seasoned warrior Majestic Cruiser are good enough to win it. There are pros and cons with both horses. Rock n Roll doo has raced once from a stand, while Majestic Cruiser is untested. The back row draw (13) may suit Rockn Roll Heaven better than Majesta's two slot.
Rock N Roll Doo is the more talented pacer. He won the Messenger and Blacks A Fake. Mick Stanley insists he is primed after being underdone at Ashburton two weeks ago. Majestic Cruiser is a terrific stayer and in the right stable. If he steps well and Hart can give him an economical trip, he will be dangerous late.
Copy That was a $30 outsider when he finished fourth to Rock N Roll Doo in the Victoria Cup last year. The All Stars barn dominate the race, but they have a strong hand again with Self Assured, Akuta and Spankem. Self assured will need to lift from a plain Ashburton Cup, Spankkems will figure in finish with the right trip and Akutas lacks the ringcraft.
