Sent around as a $21 chance, Arapaho was seemingly up against it, but under a well-timed steer from Rachel King, arrived in time to get the better of Chris Waller’s Francesco Guardi and Lord Ardmore in impressive style. The victory handed Baker and King a second straight win in the race, having partnered Harpo Marx to glory in the race 12 months prior. 2021: Harpo Marx blouses rivals Despite not thinking too highly of Harpo Marx when the import arrived at his stable, Bjorn Baker’s opinion had well and truly changed when he claiming his first stakes success in the relocated Premier’s Cup. Held at Kembla Grange due to Covid-19 restrictions, Harpo Marx relished the track conditions and a significant weight drop from his last start, to finish strongly under Ms Rachel King and down fellow Spirit Ridge ($4.80) by a head. Inverloch ($10) was another three-quarters of a length away in third. 2020: Mugatoo signals spring intent Trainer Kris Lees believes Mugatoo has the scope to reach Group One level during the spring and pinpointed the Metropolitan Handicap as a likely goal following the import’s dominant win in the Premier’s Cup. The staying import took his record to two wins from as many starts this campaign with the classy victory, coming from the rear of the field under Kerrin McEvoy. Mugatoo started a popular $1.90 favourite and finished strongly to down Sikandarabad ($10) by 1.25 lengths with Herengawe ($81) a close third. 2019: Wu Gok relishes heavy deck The Chris Waller-trained Wu Gok confirmed his status as a genuine wet-tracker, claiming his first Stakes success in the Group 3 Premier’s Cup. Waller had a heavy hand in the Group 3 event for stayers, with training seven of the 10 horses engaged, which resulted in him training the first five horses past the winning post. Wu Gok ($6.50) kept his new stablemate, former Perth horse Come Play With Me ($3.20) at bay by a length, with Tommy Berry producing an expert ride on the leader’s back throughout and pinching an inside run along the rails. The move proved to be a decisive one, with Wu Gok finding plenty late on.
