James Cummings insists a straightforward spring campaign for Australia's best racehorse doesn't come with a guarantee of success...
Rain is forecast for Melbourne on Saturday but the prospect of a wet Cox Plate is unlikely to worry Anamoe who is just as effective in soft going as he is on top of the ground. Anamoe has been a constant at the top of Cox Plate betting for most of the spring and he will line up as a warm favourite at Moonee Valley. As agonising as it was for Godolphin, the defeat was only a temporary setback in Anamoe's climb to the top.
Glen Boss doesn't think Cox Plate favourite Anamoe will get an easy time and there is one jockey who is capable of outsmarting James McDonald.
the Cox Plate is always a high pressure race so just give him his chance to run the trip. "This will be a race โฆ "You got Zaaki going forward, kicking up hard because he has to โฆ "I really dig that about him. "It will break up the field, Anamoe is going to be the winner the whole way. "Nash is going to be positive on him, he won't be flopping out the back," Boss predicted.
After the Moonee Valley meeting was abandoned on Friday night, the Group 1 Manikato Stakes has been transferred to Cox Plate Day.

The group 1 Manikato Stakes will be run after the last at Saturday's Cox Plate meeting after lightning caused havoc at Moonee Valley on Friday night.
We confirmed it with the weather bureau. โItโs not fair on the riders, itโs not fair on the horses, the animals, so the safest thing was to abandon the race meeting, unfortunately for the club and for the punters and stables,โ he said. We tried to get the Manikato out of the way.

Craig Williams is riding the lights at the moment and should get the run of the race behind stablemate Coolangatta. She is a genuine wet-track gun who draws to get a much more economical run than she did in the A J Moir back on 23rd September. She showed she can get through heavy conditions when winning on debut and could be the one to round them up if she can settle closer.

- 5 โ MY WHISPER โ Has been finding the line quite well in deep Sydney mares races and both of them have really been dominated by those nearer speed. - 2 โ DO IT LA โ Beat older mares Hillside then sat on strong speed in that G2 Manifold and held on well, she wasnโt far off Typhoon Titmus. Do think gate 1 (and use of rail) can really help himโฆ - 10 โ ANAMOE โ Thought he just might be vulnerable in Might And Power 3-weeks between runs (off lameness) but he lost ground (2-3L) around final turn before picking-up and running down Zaaki and Iโm Thunderstruck. Jumps to 2040m quickly but looks promising and interested here at $7 early. Led/ Bolted in Geelong maiden fresh on Soft-6 and looked to have plenty left in tank. MOONEE VALLEY โ Race 10 No.5 โ MY WHISPER โ Has been finding the line quite well in deep Sydney mares races and both of them have really been dominated by those nearer speed. Beat Atlantic Ocean when they clashed in May and winner Atlantis Tycoon just ran well behind some elite 3yoโs (Jacquinot/ Aft Cabin) early Spring. Very good win fresh last prep in 3yo Open at Caulfield 1100m and his run here to Generation clearly ties in with last weekโs G2 race Ashford Street contested. MOONEE VALLEY โ Race 9 No.10 โ ANAMOE โ Thought he just might be vulnerable in Might And Power 3-weeks between runs (off lameness) but he lost ground (2-3L) around final turn before picking-up and running down Zaaki and Iโm Thunderstruck. Missed by an inch this race last year as 3yo but easily beat Melb Cup winner Verry Elleegant.. The feature is the Weight-For-Age Championship on turf the Group 1 Cox Plate.
