Michael Moroney has a pair of in-form New Zealand-bred prospects chasing feature events at Randwick on Saturday and is desperately hoping a third can also be presented with his opportunity.
It was the case of third time lucky for the Lisa Latta-trained stayer Platinum Invador ($22.80), who upset calculations in Saturday’s Gr.2 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup (3200m) to register a deserved big race success.
Dual Group One straight course winner Roch ‘N’ Horse is a possible starter in Saturday’s Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m) at Sandown after missing the Lightning Stakes (1000m) with a minor leg injury.
