CLASSIQUE LEGEND

4YO gelding

SuperCoach price: $300,000

5 starts: 3-1-1. Prizemoney: $867,500

Trainer: Les Bridge

Target: The Everest

The X-factor in next month’s The Everest. His second in The Shorts last Saturday showed the speedy grey can compete with the top best sprinters.

Classique Legend.

THE INEVITABLE

4YO gelding

SuperCoach price: $225,000

9 starts: 7-0-1. Prizemoney: $390,775

Trainer: Scott Brunton

Target: Golden Eagle

A little ripper from Tasmania with seven wins from nine starts and there’s more to come. Emerged as a genuine Group 1 galloper with his astonishing four-length win at the Valley earlier this month. Can handle wet and dry conditions.

The Inevitable.

KOLDING

4YO gelding

SuperCoach price: $200,000

13 starts: 6-1-3. Prizemoney: $451,000

Trainer: Chris Waller

Target: Epsom Handicap

He’s won five out of six as a gelding, including the Queensland Guineas in May. Showed his fighting qualities when winning Bill Ritchie Handicap at Randwick last Saturday, which secured him a start in the Group 1 Epsom Handicap.

Kolding.

SURPRISE BABY

4YO gelding

SuperCoach price: $325,000

9 starts: 4-1-1. Prizemoney: $421,235

Trainer: Paul Preusker

Target: The Bart Cummings, Melbourne Cup

A revelation in the autumn after winning the Adelaide Cup at just his sixth career and could be the best local hope in the Melbourne Cup — if the four-year-old can sneak into the field. Winning the Bart Cummings will do just that.

Surprise Baby.

FINCHE

6YO gelding

SuperCoach price: $375,000

12 starts: 4-0-3. Prizemoney: $677,566

Trainer: Chris Waller

Target: Melbourne Cup

At six, Finche isn’t a youngster but he’s raced just 12 times. Last year the Chris Waller import finished fourth in the Melbourne Cup at only his second Australian start. He was elevated to favourite for this year’s Melbourne Cup after winning the Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes last Saturday.

Finche.

OUR CANDIDATE

5YO horse

SuperCoach price: $150,000

19 starts: 4-2-3. Prizemoney: $198,219

Trainer: Kris Lees

Target: The Metropolitan

The imported stayer has made his rivals look ordinary at benchmark level before stepping up to Group company with a fast-closing third in the Newcastle Cup last week.

Our Candidate.

FASIKA

4YO mare

SuperCoach price: $200,000

4 starts: 3-1-0. Prizemoney: $202,250

Trainer: Joe Pride

Target: TBC

The lightly-raced mare was unbeaten in her first prep before losing — narrowly — for the first time in the Group 2 Sheraco Stakes after missing the start.

Fasika.

FIDELIA

4YO mare

SuperCoach price: $200,000

11 starts: 5-0-2. Prizemoney: $312,800

Trainer: Robbie Griffiths

Target: Empire Rose Stakes

She showed promising signs last spring but it all came together during the winter with four consecutive wins. Her two runs this campaign have caught the eye and she’ll be hard to beat when she gets to 1600m.

Fidelia.

MR QUICKIE

4YO gelding

SuperCoach price: $300,000

14 starts: 9-2-3. Prizemoney: $1,007,200

Trainer: Phillip Stokes

Target: Caulfield Cup or Cox Plate

Not many missed the Queensland Derby winner’s flashing third in the Makybe Diva Stakes. Based on that effort, he’s clearly elevated to a new level and is shaping as a serious Caulfield Cup challenger.
