Mahler weighted to win Melbourne Cup |
|
Trainer Aidan O'Brien believes his Mahler is weighted to win the Melbourne Cup 2007 on Tuesday November 6. It is worth remembering that Mahler was second in this year's St Leger and that he carries just 7st 12lb in the Melbourne Cup. Little wonder he is third favourite with local bookmakers and Bet365 online bookmaker alike. And Mahler's trainer denies his horse was ever second string to Scorpion, who now misses the race through injury. O'Brien said: "He was not necessarily the second string to Scorpion. With his light weight we could not wait a year to run Mahler here." O'Brien believes is anything is going to beat Mahler it will be trainer Luca Cumani's Purple Moon. O'Brien said: "Purple Moon is trained by a gifted man and I have a huge amount of respect for that horse." The weather forecast is for rain in Melbourne before raceday. Mahler won on ground with cut in it at Royal Ascot, but O'Brien reckons his charge is even better on a firm surface.
