Going for the grand mare in the Tips and Race Preview for the 2021 WS Cox Plate at Moonee Valley on Saturday.
Verry Elleegant seems a great chance at $5 in the 2021 WS Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

2021 WS COX PLATE – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Callsign Mav over from New Zealand may be our leader. Think Captivant will be handy from the inside draw and Dalasan should be thereabouts. Zaaki and Verry Elleegant won't be far away.
VERRY ELLEEGANT (6) was below her best in the Turnbull, and will need to bounce back, but that she has been out of the first four just once in two years - when seventh and staying on well in a Melbourne Cup - speaks to how reliable she is. She should be right back around her best for this and that makes her a terrific chance.
Big interest in the Caulfield Guineas winner ANAMOE (9) who was terrific there and looks capable of mixing it at this level. He and the French import GOLD TRIP (3) look like the two that will be back and powering into the finish late. Gold Trip was good enough to run fourth in the Arc last year and has shaped as well as any in Group Ones at his latest couple.
ZAAKI (1) won the Doomben Cup like a Cox Plate winner in waiting. Below that form last time but he is better than that and this does look like setting up well for him.
