mj in great form shuld win again

Very interesting race with More Joyous on a 7 day back-up for the first time in her career.

According to owner John Singleton, if More Joyous runs well in this race, the Cox Plate will be her next main aim. If not she could start in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes (1600m) at Royal Ascot on June 19.

More Joyous was awesome
Royal Ascot or the Cox Plate? Currently at loggerheads, owner John Singleton & trainer Gai Waterhouse, who will prevail?

Why not both one might ask ;)

I think you'll find that Singo's concerned that a trip os could jeopardise the Cox Plate preparation

Not long after this race Singo was trying to drum-up support for a 4-horse 1400m match-up in Oz. More Joyous vs Atlantic Jewel vs Frankel vs Black Caviar. Offered to put up $1 million of his own money to help make the match-race a reality.
