After only seeing the 2000m last time out the Chris Waller-trained Kermadec gets the chance to prove himself at the distance with a win in the Cox Plate 2015 this Saturday in Melbourne.
A dual Group 1 winner over the Randwick mile back home in Sydney with success in the autumn’s Doncaster Mile and the George Main Stakes this September, the consistent Kermadec is one of three in the $3 million Group 1 W.S. Cox Plate (2040m) line-up for Waller.
Sydney’s top trainer, expat Kiwi horseman Waller has had five previous runners in Australasia’s weight-for-age championship without success.
This weekend at Moonee Valley Racecourse he runs three livewire hopes with the best in Cox Plate betting at Ladbrokes.com.au, home of Best Tote or SP + 20% on all the Cox Plate Day races on Saturday, is his Epsom Handicap winning mare Winx ($6).
Also in the mix for the stable is Turnbull Stakes winner last time our Preferment ($13) at double figures and shorter in the markets, Kermadec at a current quote of $9.
Drawn wide in barrier 10, the four-year-old Teofilo stallion had his maiden Melbourne run a fortnight ago in the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m) when beaten only 1.35 lengths by returning star Criterion who pays $6 to add the Cox Plate trophy to the cabinet.
So can Kermadec overcome the barrier in the 14-starter field and blitz his first run at Moonee Valley to hand Waller the Cox Plate trophy?
