Adelaide backed to shinein Plate

Adelaide, an unlucky-in-running third in the Prix Niel at Longchamp on Sunday, will be trained for a tilt at the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley on October 25.

Winner of the Grade One Secretariat Stakes at Arlington last month, Aidan O’Brien’s son of Galileo will go into quarantine on Thursday week.

The three-year-old colt was well supported for the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, losing little in defeat at the hands of impressive winner Eagle Top.
