Can Lastotchka win the 2023 Melbourne Cup?
While technically not an international runner in this year’s Melbourne Cup, Lastotchka will make her Australian debut since arriving to the Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) barn. The French import was formerly trained by Jean-Marie Beguigne and had a career record that reads (10:4-2-1). The four-year-old mare was able to peak at her final international start, securing a career highlight in the Group 3 Prix Gladiateur (3100m) at Longchamp on September 3. Lastotchka gains the services of Craig Williams hopping aboard, and although her profile suggests a wet track may suit her best, we can’t dismiss her chances in the 2023 Melbourne Cup. From barrier 21, Williams will roll forward and considering this girl’s staying credentials, she will be in this for a long way, as long as she can handle the firmer deck. She’ll give a big sight up on speed and we’re happy to have Lastotchka in our top four on Tuesday.
