Chocante has one more test to pass to keep the Marsh family in with a shot at a unique family double.
Should the son of 2009 Cup-winner Shocking run up to expectations in Saturdays St Leger Stakes (2600m) at Randwick, a start in the Melbourne Cup (3200m) beckons.
Chocante is prepared by Stephen Marsh, whose father Bruce rode Silver Knight to win the 1971 Cup at Flemington before embarking on a successful training career in New Zealand and, for the past 12 years, in Singapore.
On his departure, Stephen took sole charge of their stables at Woodville and Awapuni before shifting the operation to Cambridge in 2008.
Marsh, who enjoyed Group One success in Australia with the ATC Oaks winner Sofia Rosa, said Chocante was in top order for the weekends assignment.
