Bendigo Cup winner Zupacool will be a starter in the Grp 2 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2500m) on Emirates Stakes day at Flemington. Co-trainers John Symons and Sheila Laxon will be hoping he can again strike firm going. Luke Nolen got a lucky inside run at the 200m to enable Zupacool to rip through and win the Cup from Cross The Start and Daka's Gem. Kiwi stayers Gallions Reach (5th) and Capecover (7th) missed out on their final chance to stake a claim in next Tuesday's Melbourne Cup.
