PREVIEW
OUR TIPS
Cracking edition of the 2024 Cup with runners qualifying last week. Hard to go past SHALL NOT (8) NSW's best Straight sprinter is drawn to miss trouble and will prove too classy for his rivals. CLINT KEEPING (2) is well placed near the rails and looks next best. EXPRESS ETHICS (3) is a 7-time winner this trip and has each way claims from this draw.
