No Doctor Needed on cup fringe

After this week's latest update in terms of the 2015 New Zealand Cup rankings, the Robert Dunn trained No Doctor Needed sits on the fringe of making the cup field. After his third placing in Sunday's Methven Cup, he now sits in 18th position just three spots outside the top 15. However, with doubt over at least a couple of the top 15 ranked horses, his chances of making the cup field have improved appreciably and will do further with a top effort in Monday's Ashburton Flying Stakes.
