What the Last Three Runs Tell Us
First, the market has had this race right. The Ultimate King was the 2/1 favourite in 2025, and Greeting My Master was the 7/4 favourite in 2024. Sky Sports also shows the 2023 winner at 10/11, so that makes three winning favourites in a row.
However, the favourite did not have it all its own way. In 2025 the race ran on good to soft ground and the winner came from midfield. Meanwhile, the 2024 race ran on soft going, and Main Defender went down by only half a length.
Finally, Main Defender is back on our card. He is the top rated runner this year, but he carries 60kg and has not won in his last five. That is why Drumnadrochit, in on 51.5kg, is our pick on the tips page. For help with weights and form, see our how to bet on horse racing guide.

Why the Victory Moon Stakes Matters for the Summer Cup
Overall, the race sits three weeks before the big one. Turf Talk reported that The Ultimate King booked himself a berth in the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup after his win, and it shortened him to 10/1 for that race. So the winner here can become a Summer Cup name overnight.
Therefore, watch the finish closely on Sunday. Our Summer Cup guide tracks the horses still in the race, and the Summer Cup is on Saturday 28 November at Turffontein.
