A Cox Plate bid beckons for the John Moore trained Military Attack
A Cox Plate bid beckons for the John Moore-trained Military Attack after his commanding win in the $3 million Grp 1 Singapore Airlines International Cup (2000m). Moore says: 'The Cox Plate would be a nice race for him now...He'll have a break now and I'll be seriously looking at the Cox Plate. I know the Moonee Valley Racing Club has sent all the details to (owner) Steven Lo and I'll have a good talk to Steven about it. This is a serious horse now, he's kept progressing and we probably have to keep raising the bar...It will be a challenge to do both - to take on the Cox Plate and also the Hong Kong (International) Cup in December but it might be manageable. The horse has shown now that he thrives on travel and he's good fresh so we can train him that way.'
