Buckaroo 'class' leads Waller's five-strong Cup assault

Buckaroo Leads Waller's Melbourne Cup Assault

Chris Waller has compared Buckaroo's Melbourne Cup preparation to that of 2021 winner Verry Elleegant.

Buckaroo and Valiant King will lead Waller's five-horse team in the Melbourne Cup, which could be his second triumph in the race.

Waller won the Melbourne Cup with Verry Elleegant in 2021 and has likened Buckaroo's build-up to that of the champion mare.

Buckaroo was a narrow second to Via Sistina in the Cox Plate and will be ridden by Craig Williams out of barrier 12 at Flemington.

Buckaroo is rated around $9 after finishing ninth as last year's favourite.
