Peter Moody's star stayer Brambles is OUT for the spring after failing to fully recover from travel sickness.

Will a French stayer slip right into Cups contention in Adelaide on Saturday? Could be. Trainer Tony McEvoy seems quietly confident he has a true contender in his French import Sysmo who takes on the Centrebet Handicap (1600m) at Morphettville. McEvoy says: 'It's a very winnable race for him but the most important thing is he gets his rating up with a win...We started this process a long time ago when we decided to look for an imported horse and it's very important he gets his rating up to qualify for the Cups.' Sysmo has already shown that he has some class. He was a first-up 5th in the Grp3 Aurie's Star Handicap (1200m) at Flemington on Aug 11. He was then made a late entry for the Caulfield Cup.
