Promising stayer South Pacific is looking to make it two wins on the trot in the Flemington Cup tomorrow.
The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace trained galloper has taken a while to adjust to Australian racing but looks to have finally settled in after his impressive last start victory.
The five-year-old gelding faces a similar lineup to what he beat at his last start with trainer Ciaron Maher confident he can win again.
“Can’t fault him, he’s nice, fresh and well.
“Obviously a real natural stayer, we haven’t had to do a lot with him, 2800 would be only to his liking so it looks a lovely progressive race for him,” said Maher.
Jamie Kah will partner with the gelding once again after their last start win.
“It looks a very similar race so hopefully he can do the same again,” said Maher.
South Pacific is currently a $2.15 chance to take out Race 8 at Flemington tomorrow.
