59 $26 12L 2:01.07 R113 Kovalica is the only horse coming through the Cox Plate, which has been a good guide to recent Melbourne Cups. He hasn’t been seen over a staying trip since his dominant win in the 2023 Queensland Derby and could well be a horse wanting this trip. While beaten a long way in the Cox Plate, he wasn’t far behind some top horses, finding the line well. Gets an elite jockey on and can run big late splits off fast or slow tempos. Can run very well. 1-Via Sistina (IRE) 57
