BY MICHAEL GUERIN11AUCKLAND & ROWE CUP NIGHT FORM GUIDE | 2022 No matter how you dissect the $400,000 Trillian Trust Auckland Cup on Friday night you come back to the same horse winning: Self Assured. That is not so say the hot favourite is a certainty in the great race, after all our major Cups rarely produce certainties, but if logic is what you are using to find the winner there is only one predictable outcome. Self Assured goes into the Cup at the end of a very busy campaign that has rarely failed to produce a wonderful performance, with his defeats all being when he has had a harder run than his conqueror. With Copy That sidelined Self Assured is undoubtedly the best horse racing in the country and then you start going down the list of reasons he can’t win or you shouldn’t back him. FORM won’t be a problem as he showed beating half this field last Friday and he did that after giving away a start of up to 20m, with the second and third horses Kango and Bad To The Bone both getting that full advantage. Earlier in this campaign came from last to win The Race, was luckless and enormous in the Taylor Mile and set up a national record in The Messenger and the horse who beat him then, Majestic Cruiser, isn’t here on Friday night. So what does co-trainer Mark Purdon, who is suspended and hands the reins to partner Natalie Rasmussen tonight, think? “He isn’t feeling the effects of the long campaign at all, he was really good the other night,” reiterates the champion trainer. The STANDING START can sometimes be a concern with Self Assured although that card is often overplayed as he has had 17 standing starts for 10 wins, six placings and one bad miss but that was over a season ago. He stepped away not only safely but brilliantly last Friday, albeit off a 20m handicap by himself and was soon up in third, so way better than three of his rivals this week. Still, Friday presents the challenge of starting on a front line with other horses, one of only a few times every season Self Assured has to do that but again the racing Gods have smiled on him there. He has got barrier six so the outside of the horses who will come up to the tapes with the three unruly horses behind him and far enough away to give him the most room possible in a nine-horse field at The Park. So if he blows the start it will not only be out of character but against all the odds. The Cup is of course 3200m and in that stat department he has all his rivals covered, having won three of his four 3200m attempts, the impressive list of a New Zealand, Auckland and Easter Cup. His only defeat over 3200m came in November when he was second in the NZ Cup to Copy That, who we know is not here on Friday. So you have the best stayer in the race, with less standing start concerns than in the past and in the best form in the race. There is of course the small fact Self Assured has lost one of our greatest big race drivers in Purdon but he has been replaced by the Ice Queen of major race driving in New Zealand and one of the greatest money drivers to ever sit in a sulky in Rasmussen. So by every metric you can think of this is Self Assured’s Cup to lose and with second favourite and the pacer who comes up next best on most of those metrics being Spankem, his stablemate, even if he leads he might be wise to take a sit on Self Assured. In fact, for $400,000 in the last race of their campaign it is hard to imagine any of the likely leaders not deferring to Self Assured if Rasmussn gets serious inside the first mile. Quite simply, unless Self Assured beats himself his rivals are going to need to produce a career peak to stop him winning his second Auckland Cup.122022 | AUCKLAND & ROWE CUP NIGHT FORM GUIDE MANGO’S DUAL CHALLENGE Brent Mangos realises he has two jobs to do in Friday night’s $400,000 Trillian Trust Auckland Cup and he can’t do the second one until he has accomplished the first perfectly. Mangos is facing an increasingly uphill battle with South Coast Arden who has had a slightly interrupted preparation for the Cup but then added another challenge when he missed away badly in the Roy Purdon Memorial last Friday night. That saw him ultimately finish fifth of the six starters but Mangos was happy enough with his performance once he got going. “He just started rearing at the start and that was that,” said Mangos of last week’s 2200m start. “Once he did that he missed away and I think he was 80m from them early and still a long way from them at the 1000m. “He made really good ground and ran up behind them but just got tired the last 100m. “But I don’t think any of the others in that race would have got much closer if they had been giving away that start.” Which raises the obvious challenge of getting South Coast Arden away safely from the same standing start point this Friday as job one, before he can go on and achieve job two, trying to actually win Auckland’s biggest race. “I hope this week they don’t stand for too long,” says Mangos. “They only have six on the front and three of us on the unruly so I hope that gives us some room to move and then we get a good start.” If South Coast Arden can step away with his rivals Mangos says he is in the right form to still be a factor in the race as he was when he finished third in the New Zealand Cup and won the NZ Free-For-All back in November. “He is going well and while he has a setback a month or so ago and missed a race he is fine now and feels like he is working well.” The problem for the giant pacer is, all things being equal with similar starts, he could settle behind arch rival Self Assured and while he has beaten him before coming from behind him by far his best chance is getting in front and even, potentially, working forward to the lead. “But we are in the race and my horse is ready to go. He has that hard run last week so I have kept him fresh this week and I think he is ready.” BY MICHAEL GUERINMICHAEL GUERINGREG O’CONNORJOSHUA SMITH Race 1 5:30pm 7 Alderbaran Flame 9 Mr Muscle 4 Cyber Attack 2 Love and Faith 7 Alderbaran Flame 4 Cyber Attack 9 Mr Muscle 11 Isla Elsie 4 Cyber Attack 9 Mr Muscle 7 Aldebaran Flame 11 Isla Elsie Race 2 5:57pm 1 Mr Chip 10 Perfect Bet 2 Ohoka Creed 11 Colonel Lincoln 1 Mr Chip 10 Perfect Bet 2 Ohoka Creed 7 Swimintheriver 1 Mr Chip 2 Ohoka Creed 10 Perfect Bet 9 Jono B Race 3 6:27pm 4 Son of a Sun 5 Slippery Mistress 2 True Story 1 Trifolium 4 Son Of A Sun 7 Mont Blanc 1 Trifolium 5 Slippery Mistress 4 Son Of A Sun 1 Trifolium 7 Mont Blanc 5 Slippery Mistress Race 4 6:55pm 1 Nelson’s Boy 3 Excutive Banner 5 Supa Dupa Luca 4 Midfrew Lucre 4 Midfrew Lucre 5 Supa Duca Luca 3 Executive Banner 1 Nelson’s Boy 5 Supa Dupa Luca 4 Midfrew Lucre 3 Executive Banner 1 Nelson’s Boy Race 5 7:25pm 7 Masterly 5 Highgrove 9 Double Delight 10 Mystic Max 7 Masterly 5 Highgrove 9 Double Delight 10 Mystic Max 7 Masterly 5 Highgrove 9 Double Delight 10 Mystic Max Race 6 7:55pm 10 Special Way 9 Call Me Trouble 11 Aflyin Spur 7 Jasinova 4 Emma Frost 7 Jasinova 10 Special Way 11 Aflyin Spur 9 Call Me Trouble 11 Aflyin Spur 10 Special Way 3 Liaison Race 7 8:24pm 3 Sundees Son 2 Bolt for Brilliance 1 Midnight Dash 4 Temporale 3 Sundees Son 2 Bolt For Brilliance 1 Midnight Dash 5 Five Wise Men 3 Sundees Son 2 Bolt For Brilliance 4 Temporale 5 Five Wise Men Race 8 8:54pm 6 Self Assured 4 Spankem 9 A G’s White Socks 7 South Coast Arden 6 Self Assured 9 A G’s White Socks 4 Spankem 7 South Coast Arden 6 Self Assured 4 Spankem 5 Kango 7 South Coast Arden Race 9 9:24pm 6 Manhatten 5 Mimi E Coco 7 Harder Than Diamonds 3 Claudia Schiffer 6 Manhattan 5 Mimi E Coco 7 Harder Than Diamonds 4 Tennessee Honey 6 Manahattan 5 Mimi E Coco 3 Claudia Schiffer 7 Harder Than Diamonds Race 10 9:39pm 4 Simply Sam 1 Queen of Diamonds 2 Take the Miki 3 High Point 1 Queen Of Diamonds 4 Simply Sam 2 Take The Miki 5 Bettor Grunter 1 Queen Of Diamonds 4 Simply Sam 2 Take The Miki 5 Bettor Grunter 13AUCKLAND & ROWE CUP NIGHT FORM GUIDE | 2022 SELECTIONS1 067690 My Hope R35 (1) Front Andre Poutama 5 m Peak-Tilly The Filly(by Great Success) Own: R J Collins Bdr: Regency Wools (NZ) Ltd Chg: BL-On Andre Poutama (Patumahoe) Stats: All(24-1-1-2) $12,760 All W(24-1-3) All WS(2-0-1) Grs(0) Grs W(0) C(2-0-0) D(8-0-0) Mob(1-0-0) Std(23-1-3) Hasn't been competitive lately after displaying poor manners.
