FLEMINGTON RACE 7 AUSTRALIAN CUP
2000m, WFA G1, 3.30pm In the run: Pace looks soft. Awesome Rock should work across easily. Our Ivanhowe handy off the inside. Fenway and Suavito prominent too. 
Take note: Bow Creek had good turn of foot in the Young (10 in 30 years have completed the double), while Our Ivanhowe was stiff and is suited extra trip. Damien Oliver (pictured) faces an early task to get in on Bow Creek.
Did you know: Only one fav has won in past 11 years and 4 in 20. Can produce an upset. Think Awesome Rock can run a race. Worked early last time off wide gate and battled on strongly. Good Flemington winner over the carnival.
Early money:The mares Rising Romance ($8.50) and Suavito ($7.50) have admirers. Dual Flemington G1 winner Preferment ($5.50) rock solid.
