They may not have quite the same amount of hype surrounding them as their star stablemate and 2012 Cox Plate top fancy Pierro but the fellow Gai Waterhouse-trained three-year-old Proisir is not without their admirers for the big one at Moonee Valley Racecourse this Saturday.
Waterhouse will saddle up three hopefuls in this year’s $3 million Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) as she looks to score her first victory in the ‘race where legends are made’.
The shortest-priced of those is triple Group 1 winning Lonhro colt Pierro ($4.60) looking to bounce back after their first career loss when gunned down by fellow Cox Plate hopefuls All Too Hard in the Caulfield Guineas a fortnight ago.
Then there is eight-time Group 1 winning More Than Ready mare More Joyous, backed in from $11 to $9 at bookmaker.com.au, who is also looking to reverse her form after finding the 60kg topweight in the Toorak too much last time.
Also paying $9 in the Cox Plate odds is then Proisir who, like Pierro and All Too Hard, is looking to become the third three-year-old in the past 10 years to beat home their older rivals in the Cox Plate.
They also share something else with Pierro have been defeated as the beaten odds-on favourite in a Group 1 last time out, the Choisir colt’s three run winning streak coming to an end at Randwick on October 6 when they went down to Victoria Derby fancy It’s A Dundeel in the Spring Champion Stakes (2000m).
So can Proisir get the better of their two stablemates and the rest of this year’s intriguing Cox Plate 2012 field? Or will they fall by the wayside as so many other three-year-olds have done before them?
Read enough to suggest Proisir is worth an Each Way bet in the Cox Plate markets this year?
