Big Memory is a significant shortener for the $400,000 Adelaide Cup at Morphettville. The Tony McEvoy-trained importheads the betting as a $5 equal favourite with the Chris Waller-trained Junoob on TattsBet after $17 was offered when nominations closed last Thursday. Big Memory boosted his Adelaide Cup prospects by toying with rivals at Moonee Valley on Friday night. He notched a three-length win over fellow Cup nomination Aggregator in what was viewed as a strong staying performance.
