Real World (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) is being prepared for a campaign in Australia later in the year after Saeed bin Suroor's 5-year-old featured among the 169 entries for the Cox Plate which takes place on Oct. 22 at Moonee Valley.
Real World has chased home Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) twice over a mile this term and was set to compete over a-mile-and-a-quarter in the Eclipse before being ruled out of the Sandown showpiece late in the day.
Bin Suroor is taking his time with the six-time winner following that mid-season setback and is undecided on a prep run for the versatile Godolphin charge before heading to Australia.
He said, “Real World is OK, he's still having an easy time. The plan is to take him to Australia. The horse has had a break, he was coughing before Sandown and he's had an easy time. Now we are trying to prepare him for the Australian races.”
The trainer added, “He could maybe have one more race here before he travels or maybe he will go straight there. The Cox Plate is a possibility, but he's got plenty of options.”
