Suspended jockey Glen Boss has left no doubt about which horse he would like to ride in the Group I Victoria Derby.

“Monaco Consul is the one,” Boss said.

“I know it was a soft track when he won the Spring Champion Stakes but you just don’t see three-year-olds win like that.

“He absolutely floated. Mike [Moroney] has had a lot to do with a lot of good horses and when he says this is one of the better ones he’s had – you’ve got to take very big notice of that.”

Boss said the key to winning a Victoria Derby was to ride the horse “that can run 2500m” as well as one on an upward spiral.

“I think it’s one of those races that are a bit of a no-brainer,” he said.

“The horse that’s performances improve with every run typically is the winner of the race.

“It’s one of those races where what you see is what you get.”
