''We'll just wait a week and go for the Cox Plate. ''She's got a terrific field of international gallopers up against her this year, she has barrier 14 and the only mare to have won the cup with 54 kilograms is Mannerism and the last horse to win back-to-back Caulfield Cups was Rising Fast, so the owners figured they had the odds stacked against them,'' Macdonald said. Southern Speed comes off her worst performance when she finished at the tail in the Turnbull Stakes, but co-trainer Leon Macdonald said it was not the mare's form or fitness that bothered her owners when assessing today's race. THE local defence of the Caulfield Cup was weakened considerably last night when connections of last year's winner Southern Speed bowed to today's formidable international line-up and decided to withdraw the mare from the $2.5 million contest.
