IT'S A Dundeel proved his fitness for the $3 million Cox Plate with a searching track gallop at Moonee Valley yesterday morning - just a couple of hours before her main rival Atlantic Jewel was ruled out with injury.
Trainer Murray Baker has won his race against time to get It's A Dundeel ready for Saturday's big race, declaring his four-year-old won't be beaten on the score of fitness.
It's A Dundeel, the only horse to beat Atlantic Jewel, had been under an injury cloud since a hoof abscess ruled him out of the Caulfield Stakes two weeks ago.
But after the five-time Group 1 winner galloped impressively alongside Let's Make Adeal over 1600m in 1min 48.14sec (last 600m sectional in 24.89sec), Baker declared his horse "fit and ready to go".
"We are pretty happy with him,'' Baker said. "He had a hit-out at Caulfield last Wednesday where he ran 'time', and had another strong gallop at Flemington on Saturday.
"Today's gallop has just topped him off for the Cox Plate. He won't get beaten on the score of fitness, I'm confident of that.''
Atlantic Jewel's scratching from the Cox Plate robs the race of its biggest drawcard, throwing betting in chaos and opening the race right up. The major news included:
#IT'S A Dundeel was installed the new favourite by TAB Fixed Odds at $4;
#PUISSANCE De Lune continues to firm and is now into $4.40 now he will after come out of the seven barrier - the most successful barrier with 11 winners in Cox Plate history;
#IT'S A Dundeel has barrier 12 and Fiorente the extreme outside of gate 14 - two starting positions that have never produced a Cox Plater;
#CHRIS Waller changed his mind at the last minute and accepted with dual Group 1 winner Foreteller rather than Sacred Falls; and
#FIRST emergency Shamus Award, still a maiden after seven starts, vaults into the Cox Plate field.
