Lucia Valentino odds seem generous after the Tramway win

Looks the goods based on early form but anything could happen in the lead up to the Cup and during the Cup as well! :)

It's a tough ask for both but both are really quality horses. Estimate, Pale Mimose, Bande and a few offers are the best chance of the internationals at the moment but there will be plenty of quality for sure.

I don't think The Offer can win, I'd really like to see Red Cadeux win!
