Mamma Mia the one to beat in Arthur Jones Mem Cup

The $1.25-million Arthur Jones Memorial Cup takes centre stage tomorrow, with 11 talented runners vying for the top spot in this Overnight Allowance contest over six furlongs (1,200m).

 

Let’s take a closer look at each contender’s chances:

 

1) MAMMA MIA: (5 ch m by Soul Warrior – Princess Greeta) – Despite a disappointing sixth-placed finish behind stablemates Funcaandun and Desert of Malibu on July 26, Mamma Mia’s speed and pace make her a strong contender in this class drop to a more suitable level.

 

2) JAMES: (5 b h by Sensational Slam – Crown Princess) – Unfortunately, James doesn’t stand a chance in this one.

 

3) FEARLESS FORCE (USA): (4 dk b/br f by Anchor Down – A Merry Song) – This filly has been performing well at this level and is expected to put in a strong run, making her a top contender.

 

4) HERE COMES DOC: (5 b h by Bern Identity – Indian Bluff) – Here Comes Doc is unlikely to win this one.

 

5) SONNY T AND CHIPPY: (6 b h by Savoy Stomp – Trinket Box) – This horse is expected to struggle and be left behind.

 

6) CAPTAIN CALICO: (5 ch h by Soul Warrior – Rackam’s Mistress) – Although Captain Calico has some talent, a winning run is not expected.

 

7) TEFLON DON: (4 b c by Casual Trick – The Lady Scored) – After a winning performance last time out,
Teflon Don is not expected to repeat the feat.

 

8) PERFECT BREW: (6 b g by Bern Identity – Moonlight Brew) – Despite not winning this season,
Perfect Brew has the potential to spring a surprise and could be a dark horse in this competition.

 

9) GET A PEPSI: (6 ch h by Blue Pepsi Lodge – Getupstandup) – This capable runner is expected to put in a decent performance.

 

10) IMMEASURABLE JOY: (4 b f by War Correspondent – Moon over Mallorca) – Unfortunately,
Immeasurable Joy has no chance of winning.

 

11) JUSTIN BIG TIME: (4 b c by Sensational Slam – Kiri) – It’s best to bypass Justin Big Time in this competition.
