This weekend Sydney’s premier horseman Chris Waller launches a triple-pronged attack on the 2014 Cox Plate field looking to win the weight-for-age classic for the first time including Royal Descent who is desperate to shrug her second placegetter status.
The talented Redoute’s Choice mare is one of 14 in the field for this year’s $3 million Group 1 W.S. Cox Plate (2040m) that runs as Moonee Valley Race 8 on Saturday.
She’s joined by her Group 1 winning stable mates Sacred Falls ($6) and Foreteller ($21) and pays $11 to win in the latest Cox Plate odds at Ladbrokes.com.au.
Drawn in barrier three the five-year-old comes off four straight second place finishes for the season at Randwick most recently behind the fellow Waller-trained He’s Your Man in the Group 1 Epsom Handicap (1600m).
She was also second in a Sydney Group 1 the start before taking on fellow Cox Plate hope and dual Doncaster Mile winner Sacred Falls in the George Main Stakes.
Nine-times tested in elite level company, Royal Descent is yet to win a Group 1 of her own but is full of class having been defeated under two lengths by Saturday’s Cox Plate favourite Fawkner ($4.20) in the Caulfield Cup over the mile and a half last spring.
So can she break through with an upset Cox Plate win on the weekend and hand jockey Glen Boss with his fourth win in the race?
Think there’s enough evidence to suggest Royal Descent can surprise with a Cox Plate win for Waller on the weekend?
