Musir and Raihana arrive safely in Sydney...

SYDNEY – UAE Derby winner and runner-up Musir and Raihana arrived at David Payne’s Sydney establishment on Tuesday.
Both runners were trained in South Africa and Dubai by Mike de Kock.
Musir will be aimed at the Aus$3-million Tatts Cox Plate over 2040m at Moonee Valley in October, Australia’s premier weight-for-age race.
A four-year-old son of Redoute's Choice and $900,000 Inglis yearling sale graduate, Musir is unbeaten in 2010 and has suffered just one defeat in six starts.
Raihana posted an impressive second in the UAE Derby and boasts three wins and two minors from six starts.
Said Payne: "Musir looks very special and I'm delighted to be given the opportunity to train both horses for Sheik Khalifa," Payne, an ex-pat South African, said. "They got of quarantine on Tuesday and will spend a couple of weeks on a farm stretching their legs before we get them into work in preparation for the spring.
"The Cox Plate is the target for Musir and we'll kick off his campaign here in Sydney and probably look at a race like the George Main."
Payne suggested that Raihana will be set for the fillies and mares' features over the Spring Racing Carnival with a race like the Group 1 Myer Classic (1600m) at Flemington on Derby Day a possible option. – Racing and Sports.
