Chris Waller is already preparing a speech for next year's Cox Plate presentation. He reckons Rangirangdoo is the horse who can win the wfa classic. Rangi smashed the 1600m track record in Sat's Crystal Mile at the Valley and Waller says: 'It's a surprise to hear that time, but that's the type of horse he is...We are better off to win this race than run fifth or sixth in the Cox Plate, but he will be here this time next year, don't worry about that.'

A strong gallop at Sandown has paved the way for the 4YO wildcard to tackle Tuesday week's Cup. Trainer David Hayes says: 'He had a decent gallop this morning and it must have done the job...Originally we thought it had dissipated because he was much better yesterday and better again this morning. That's the nature of foot injuries.'
