July Cup.Flat racing by cyclonic111 (U13872963) 10 July 2009  It's pretty much expected that after his memorable Stand win, Scenic Blast will take a power of beating today at Newmarket in the Cup. Accordingly, he goes into the race a warm favourite at about the 7-4 mark. If he lives up to his 09 form in Australia and Ascot, he should power over the top of them in the last furlong or so.

racingnut (U2773714) posted Jul 10, 2009 The pace of the race meant that anything ridden from off the pace had no chance.The winner is a very talented filly but in terms of pure form this race must be treated with extreme caution,i cant remember a july cup run with such a lack of pace.I actually thought that Paco Boy ran a super race to finish fourth seeing as it was totally against his requirements over this trip.Still think the winner is better over a stiff 5 but today was her day and fair play to her.Guess who followed her off a cliff last season!
