Melbourne Cup contender My Quest for Peace is top chance at Stradbroke My Quest for Peace is considered a strong chance to win the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap. AN imported stayer originally brought to Australia to win the Melbourne Cup has been rated by trainer Peter Moody as a top chance in Queensland's richest sprinting race. Moody will target British import My Quest for Peace at the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) and insists the plan is not as crazy as it sounds. My Quest for Peace failed to stay in last year's Melbourne Cup, finishing 10th behind Green Moon, after running fifth in the Caulfield Cup under the care of Luca Cumani. "I am going to have a red-hot go at the Stradbroke with this horse," Moody said. I have never seen an import with a better turn of foot. The OTI-owned galloper was transferred to Moody after his Spring campaign and is rated a $41 Stradbroke chance in TattsBet's betting markets. The five-year-old has not run since the Melbourne Cup due to a throat infection, but the stable now believes he is in fine fettle. Moody is seeking back-to-back Stradbroke wins after Mid Summer Music won last year's prestigious sprint race.
