“I think the map is a great concern. Perhaps there’s a chance she gets a good run if she’s three-wide with cover.”

“She’s come back from Melbourne so well. She’s flying.”

“We can go into the race with the confidence we’ve got the filly as well as we can have her.”

“She’s absolutely glistening, perfectly fit the (G1) T.J. Smith and it’s the race of the day.”

“I could make a case for him to be the winner.”

“He’s got excellent form. Not so long ago, he won the (G1) Winterbottom like a star.”

“Yet he found the 1,000m first-up far too short, but he’s had a tick-over trial on Monday since then.”

“We elected not to run the horse in the (G1) William Reid from the wide draw.”

“The horse is feeling well and we think he can run a race.”

• Race: Doncaster Mile-Group 1 (Hcp) (1,600m)
• Jockey – Zac Lloyd (a2)

“He’s certainly an interesting runner from a historical perspective.”

“A (G1) Caulfield Guineas winner with a solid G2, 1,600m win over Communist from the spring.”

“He’s only carrying 51kg in the race and looks like having a good draw to get himself into a fighting position with that lightweight.”

“His run wasn’t his best last time in the (G1) George Ryder.”

“There are a number of positive things in his favour and we love how he’s trained since the (G1) George Ryder.”

“He looks to have taken the required improvement and, fourth-up in the Doncaster. He could be ready to run his best race.”

PERICLES (AUS) – 3YO Gelding by Street Boss (USA) out of Accessories (GB)

• Race: Australian Derby-Group 1 (3yo SW) (2,400m)
• Jockey: James McDonald
• Weight: 56.5kgs
• Barrier: 6

“The preparation he’s had is more traditional this time.”

“He’s had the grounding from his spring campaign.”

“There’s no doubt he looked up and looked like he was going to beat Lindermann (G1 Rosehill Guineas).”

“I don’t think you could say Pericles failed to stay it out.”

“That horse Lindermann fought back strongly and they were many lengths ahead of the rest.”

“He advanced on his rating from his (G2) Autumn Classic win.”

“This going to be set up like a strong mile-an-a-half event, so he’s going to need to stay it out strongly.”

“I think the best stayer will rise to the occasion and hopefully Pericles with the spark and turn-of-foot, his strength in training, two weeks between runs instead of the three weeks last time, he should be perfectly set up.”

“We’d like to think he’s ready for his best performance this campaign.”
