RACE COMMENT
The Easter Cup, a Group 3 event, sees HORATIUS SPECULO (1) chasing a deserved major feature victory after a superb 12 months. He was good winner in his heat as a short-priced favourite and with his excellent stand-start manners, he looks the one to beat. PARDOE PLUGGA (5) began poorly in his heat when favourite but still nearly won — if he steps cleanly, he poses the main danger off the front and has the class to test the favourite. MAEBEE (8) did plenty of work in the heat when a strong 3rd, and a repeat performance would see him right in the finish. The highly assessed THE SHALLOWS (12) and MAGNETIC TERROR (13) bring class but will need luck from their handicaps in a race that may not feature strong mid-race moves. DE GOEY (9) has the class to win if his manners hold, while STEPPING STONES (11) has been luckless in feature races in her career, but is well suited by the staying trip and could feature if things fall her way.Selections HORATIUS SPECULO (1), PARDOE PLUGGEA (5), MAEBEE (8), THE SHALLOWS (12)
