Import Docklands had to undergo a vet inspection on Saturday morning, while another Ciaron Maher stayer has emerged as a Melbourne Cup threat.
UK import Docklands has passed a last-minute vet test on Saturday morning, clearing the way for all nine elite runners to take place in a mouth-watering Cox Plate at Moonee Valley.
Waller had to completely reorganise the group 1-winning mare’s training regime this week, limiting her programme to beach work and light gallops. Cult hero Pride Of Jenni has also had an unusual lead-up preparation, having raced in Sydney last weekend. She spent two days in and out of the spa and hyperbaric chamber at trainer Ciaron Maher’s NSW property before being trucked back to Victoria on Wednesday.
If Pride Of Jenni can win the weight-for-age championship it will cap of another impressive weekend for the all-conquering Maher.He unearthed another potential Melbourne Cup runner on Friday night when Okita Soushi won the 2500-metre Moonee Valley Gold Cup by half a length from the Lloyd Williams-owned Serpentine.
