Golden Flame + Spirit Mixer both declared.
Hooray...and that leaves the way clear for Faylaq to finally get his sunshine day in the Consolation. No prices up yet that I can see, but, sadly, I suspect he won't qualify for this thread.
Yes,I agree took 40/1 as well.The Vase - Green Team 40/1, 4 places - started last season rated 90, beaten less than 8 lengths in the Plate off 87, ran okay next time but subsequently very disappointing, including in four runs this season so the price is understandable. However, Williams is just the boyo to tee them up for a big one and he's booked Josie Gordon who is 27% win and 64% first-four for him this season. And he's going blue across the board so somebody else must have noticed. The horse is off just 74 here.
Ran well,got stopped when making its move,then ran on again.might have got 5th with a bit more luck.Looking at Spirit Mixer myself.
2nd 2 years ago. 8lb lower now.
I'm guessing he may have had injury problems. Lightly raced initially after that effort.
4 races though this year, to get him back up to speed.
Every chance they're having another go.
Can get 50s.
