SOUND HEADS OUR CUP DAY RUNNERS

Sound in the Melbourne Cup heads our three runners at Flemington on Tuesday.

James Winks is aboard Sound (pictured), who has drawn barrier 10 and Mike Moroney is confident the entire is ready to run well.

“He looks terrific and we’re very happy with him,” Moroney said. “I think his runs have been good - in the Caulfield Cup he rolled into it than got squeezed right out of it and James felt that without that he would have finished in the top five and I would agree with that.

“His work since has been excellent, he’s a lot stronger this time and I couldn’t be happier with him.

“The track is currently soft but it should improve by race time I think and it should not bother him.

“Everything we’ve done with him has gone to plan, he’s drawn well and if he can relax in the early stages then I do believe he can run a big race, even though the bookies don’t give him a chance.”

Hawker Hurricane and Milwaukee are our other runners with Hawker Hurricane the first to go in race five, the Schweppervescence Plate over 1000m where he has drawn barrier one and to be ridden by Jordan Childs.

The three-year-old finished a close second in the Poseidon Stakes at Listed level at Flemington on October 5.

“I’m not so sure with the inside barrier on a soft track but I’m very happy with the horse,” Moroney said.

“He’s struck a strong race, he’s in terrific form but provided he’s not inconvenienced by the draw I do think he will be hard to beat.”

Milwaukee runs in race nine, the Always Welcome Stakes over 1200m at Listed level with Luke Currie in the saddle and drawn barrier two.

Milwaukee finished fifth last time out in the Aurie’s Star Stakes (Group 3) over 1200m on a heavy track at Flemington in August.

“I’m happy with him but ideally the track will not get any worse,” Moroney said. “It’s a strong race but he’s got such a good record on the straight course you can’t discount him.

“He’s definitely a chance however, if the weather turn it could be that he’s drawn the wrong side of the track and that will make it more difficult for him.”
