Moatize Quality victory gives Bart Melbourne Cup chance

MOATIZE gained a definite place in the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday by narrowly landing the Group 3 Quality Stakes with jockey Michael Rodd up.

Trained by 11 times Melbourne Cup-winner Bart Cummings, Moatize will be ridden in Tuesday's Flemington showpiece by Clare Lindop who made history on Saturday by becoming the first girl to win the Victoria Derby.

Moatize aims to be the first hero since Brew (1900) of the Quality Stakes to then land the Melbourne Cup in the same season.
