Chipping Norton Stakes Day kicks off Group 1 racing in Sydney for the season this Saturday March 5, the day’s race-card featuring a number of quality black-type events including the 2011 Liverpool City Cup and here we have the form guide and betting analysis for the showdown.
The $125,000 Group 3 Liverpool City Cup (1300m) will run as Warwick Farm Race 7 on Saturday due to jump at 5:05pm (AEDST).
An exciting field of 17 gallopers are engaged for this year’s Liverpool City Cup, including $4 favourite through Luxbet Triple Elegance drawn on the rails and coming off a smart 6 ½ length win over 1500m at Rosehill.
However, with the favourite untested in Group company and a classy field of competitors including locally trainer mare Graceful Anna, Peter Snowden’s genuine Lonhro five-year-old Pinwheel, Group winner Ahdashim and Danehill Dancer six-year-old News Alert an upset could be on the cards.
