Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 8, 2023 Journalists Share Posted November 8, 2023 Muramasa, ridden by Daniel Moor, wins the Coongy Cup at Caulfield Racecourse on October 18, 2023. (Photo: Pat Scala/Racing Photos) The Group 3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2600m) has brought together 14 stayers to compete for a $300,000 prize packet this Saturday at Flemington, including several gallopers that just missed out on a Melbourne Cup run. After bypassing the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m), the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained Muramasa is pegged as a clear +340 favourite with online bookmakers. The son of Deep Impact has a new lease on his racing life since returning as a gelding and will be attempting to secure his third-straight victory. Jockey Daniel Moor has been a major contributor to the success of Muramasa and continues his association with the four-year-old, who is drawn in barrier eight. There is a strong contingent listed at single figures, with the Kris Lees-trained Luncies holding the second line of betting at +550. Most of the top betting sites cannot split Duke De Sessa and Group 3 Geelong Cup (2400m) winner Amade, who share the third line at +600 apiece. Meanwhile, So Dazzling and Taramansour have both gained some support, sharing the +800 quote. The 2023 Queen Elizabeth Stakes is the first of five Group races scheduled at Flemington on Saturday and will take place at 2:30pm AEDT.
