The son of Kingmambo had to give upwards of 7lb (3.5kgs) to his rivals on Friday and stayed on well in the closing stages to take third in the 1m3f (2200m) contest...'I was a little disappointed with Campanologist on Friday but he was staying on well at the end of the race,' Suroor says...'The plan now is for him to go into quarantine so that he can travel out to Australia for the Emirates Melbourne Cup.' In latest Melbourne Cup betting, Campanologist is listed as an 80/1 chance.
