QEII Cup Runner-By-Runner Guide

1. Masquerade Ball (Best Each Way) @ $3.80

A rising star of Japan, and the best-backed runner to beat the Hong Kong champion.

He owns four wins from eight starts, including a win at Group 1 level, and it took a smart horse to beat him last time out.

It could be an exciting match race in the straight.

2. Romantic Warrior (Best Bet) @ $1.30

Punters won’t get rich with the $1.30 odds, but the HK superstar should give punters a good sight.

He doesn’t know how to do anything wrong, and the former Cox Plate champion is unbeaten in four starts this preparation.

It’s not an easy field, but he’s the one to beat.

3. Royal Champion @ $21.00

A Group 1 winner in Riyadh last time out, and that form can’t be overlooked. It’s competitive racing over there, and he hasn’t been missed in betting markets.

We expect him to be right around the mark, so include him in trifecta and first four picks.

4. Sosie (Best Roughie) @ $10.00

A winner of seven from 13 starts, and the five-year-old son of Sea the Stars could cause an upset.

He won the Hong Kong Vase in December before spelling, and he has no problems with winning big races fresh up.

A big danger at $10 odds.

5. Giovanni @ $41.00

Second at Group 2 level in Japan last start, and we don’t think that’s the best form guide for this race. Jason Collett takes the ride, so good luck to him, but he will need luck.

6. June Take @ $41.00

Another Japanese runner who will need to improve to win the QEII Cup. He won well fresh up before finishing fourth last start, so he needs to find 3-4 lengths.

7. Rubylot @ $126.00

Yet to fire this season, which is a big concern. Not running well enough.

8. Numbers @ $31.00

Second in the Hong Kong Derby, and although he’s not suited by the weights, he could run a nice race at odds.
