Vouvray to run before Melbourne Cup | Australia Melbourne Cup and Racing News

The Peter Moody trained Zabeel mare Vouvray will run in either the MacKinnon Stakes or the SAAB Quality on Saturday to round off her Melbourne Cup preparations.

Moody confirmed today that the mare was in need of a run after dropping right out of the Caulfield Cup.

Vouvray had been hitting the line strongly in each of her lead up races prior to the Caulfield Cup running fifth in the JJ Liston Stakes over 1400m. Fifth in the Feehan Stakes over 1600m at Moonee Valley and a ninth in the Turnbull Stakes over 2000m at Flemington.

However, the five-year-old mare failed to run on behind Railings in the Caulfield Cup after it was decided to ride the mare forward, in contrast to her regular racing pattern.
