The Matamata 4-year-old is the only New Zealand-trained galloper in Australasia's most important weight-for-age race at The Valley early Saturday night and so far her preparation has gone perfectly. So can the weight-for-age newcomer win the great race? "It is hard to see you are going to win a Cox Plate but we have a happy, healthy in-form horse so I think she has an each-way chance," he says. The forecast rain has seen Probabeel drift from $7 to $8 but still sits on the fourth line of betting for the 2040m thriller.
