Raging favourite It’s Me has been passed fit to start in Saturday’s The Kosciuszko (1200m) after a health scare earlier in the week.
The undefeated galloper had coughed after swimming in a pool, prompting trainer Brett Cavanough to scope the horse, with the tests results coming back clear on Friday morning.
