Lloyd Williams' private trainer, Robert Hickmott, dominates the top of the Sydney Cup weights released today with four of the top five horses.
Reigning Melbourne Cup winner Green Moon, along with the highly-rated international Sea Moon share top-weight of 59kgs, both with a rating of 114.
Sea Moon was purchased by Williams late last year but has not raced for the Macedon Lodge stable yet.
Green Moon has raced twice since winning the Melbourne Cup, finishing fourth first-up in the Futurity Stakes behind All Too Hard and fourth in the Australian Cup behind Super Cool.
Hickmott also has Sandown Classic winner Tanby fourth on the Sydney Cup weights with 56kgs, and Mourayan next best with 55.5kgs, along with Team Hawkes veteran stayer, Niwot.
There is then a 1kg gap to the next horse in the weights - Kelinni, who ran fourth in last year's Melbourne Cup when carrying the lightweight of 51kgs and he was beaten 4.9 lengths when sixth in Saturday's Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill Gardens. (racingnetwork.com.au).
