Trainer Mike Moroney says Irish mare Voleuse De Coeurs is in great order and ready to tackle the best stayers in this part of the world in both the Group 1 $1.5 million The BMW (2400m) at Rosehill Gardens on April 5, and the Group 1 $1 million Sydney Cup (3200m) on April 19. Following her seven-length romp in last year’s Irish St Leger,Voleuse De Coeurs was purchased by Hong Kong interests for a reported $1.5 million and was sent to Moroney to be prepared for the Melbourne Cup. She ran a creditable tenth in the Cup behind Fiorente and was immediately spelled with the major autumn staying races in Sydney her target. Moroney produced her first-up when an eye-catching 2.3 length fifth behind Fiorente in the Group 1 $1 million Australian Cup (2000m) at Flemington on March 8. “I’d like to gallop her between races at Moonee Valley next week and I’m sure they’ll let me do that,” Moroney said today. “Then she’ll head to Sydney for The BMW and the Sydney Cup and she appears to be in very good order - has come through the first-up run really well,” he said.
