A classy field has been assembled for Saturday’s Group 2 Crystal Mile (1600m) at Moonee Valley, with several proven milers and emerging contenders in the mix.
Golden Path, trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr, looks the standout entry and will be partnered by leading jockey Blake Shinn.
Ciaron Maher has two chances with Another Prophet and Ramadan, while Chris Waller adds further depth to the race with the consistent Shadizi.
Veteran galloper El Rocko represents John McArdle’s stable, with Cliff Brown’s Von Hauke and Michael Trotter’s Rumbled Again also among the nominations.
Rounding out the field is Oh Too Good, trained by Kevin Daffy and to be ridden by top hoop Damian Lane.
With a mix of seasoned campaigners and rising talents, the Crystal Mile shapes as a key feature on Cox Plate Day.
