Beware an Elleegant ambush in Cox Plate

Verry Elleegant is the latest star to be shunted aside in betting on Saturday's $5m Cox Plate at The Valley. Damian Lane rode her in a Cox plate preparation gallop at the Valley on Friday. Verry's trainer Chris Waller would have pulled the pin on her after the Turnbull Stakes. She has only raced once at this venue. She finished 12th of 14 behind Japanese star Lys Gracieux in the 2019 Cox Plates. The horse was voted the Australian Racehorse of the Year for last season. It was during her four-year-old days before she began her charge to the top of Australian racing pile.
