Peter Moody has a thought of how all around imported galloper Spanish Mission is planning for the Melbourne Cup, yet he needs to now see it under race conditions
Scratched from the Listed Heatherlie Stakes at Caulfield last week, Spanish Mission is an acceptor in the Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley sponsored by sunvalley on Saturday.
Yet, what Moody would rather not do is run Spanish Mission on a fundamentally wet track and is ready to wait for his chance until he gets the right circumstances.
Those condition were not right at Caulfield last week and Moody said he was ready to run Spanish Mission on a delicate track at The Valley on Saturday yet was probably going to scratch on the off chance that the ground was any more regrettable. Spanish Mission joined Moody's steady subsequent to completing third to Verry Elleegant and stablemate Incentivise in last year's Melbourne Cup, the race the mentor has in his sights this year.
In four beginnings for Moody, the stayer has completed fourth, third on two events, and an offensive keep going on weighty ground at Newcastle in the fall. It was that exhibition that persuaded Moody to avoid any hustling on weighty ground.
"He's low flying at home," Moody said.
"In any case, I might want to get a jog into him and simply see him under race conditions regarding how he is going contrasted with what he's showing me on the track at home.
"In this way, I'll most likely run him on delicate ground, yet not on a weighty track.
"He's in too great a request to remove the certainty from him by running him on a weighty track."
Should Spanish Mission sidestep Saturday's Group 2 race, Moody said there was the choice of the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on Saturday week.
It was the race stablemate Incentivise won keep going year en route to Caulfield Cup achievement.
"I might try and take a gander at Incentivises program," Moody said.
"He didn't start off until the Makybe, so we can stick around for our opportunity.
"We'll get a dry track one day, ideally it's Melbourne Cup Day."
Les Bridge gives Classique Legend the go-ahead for return
Classique Legend has breezed through his most memorable serious assessment back from a suspensory injury and keeping in mind that his wellness requires some work, coach Les Bridge says the 2020 Everest victor is on target to continue in The Shorts. The seven-year-old completed third behind the expedient Overpass and champion 먹튀검증 사이트 추천 runner Nature Strip in a 900m boundary preliminary at Canterbury on Thursday with race jockey Kerrin Mcevoy in the seat.
Span said the gelding felt the squeeze over the last stages, which was normal given he hadn't hustled since last year's Everest, however significantly Classique Legend got through the hitout sound.
"McEvoy said he exploded around 80 meters out, so he's not as fit at this stage as I've had him in the past in light of the break," Bridge said.
"I will prepare him for The Shorts. At the point when he won The Shorts (in 2020), I had him right on target. He probably won't be right on target this time, however we'll do all that can be expected.
"He is only a division behind in wellness, yet he will surely be fit enough for The Everest."
Span affirmed that all being great, Classique Legend would go to The Shorts (1100m) on September 17, then the Premiere Stakes (1200m) on October 1 preceding handling The Everest third-up about fourteen days after the fact.
The Hall Of Fame 안전 스포츠사이트 추천 mentor said he was glad to see Classique Legend be cutthroat in Thursday's preliminary and felt the most awesome aspect of it was his beginning.
"What I preferred about him more than anything else was the manner in which he left the hindrance and how athletic he was," he said.
"He might have been right up there close to the lead, not terrible for a seven-year-old that hasn't dashed for quite some time. It was great."
Bridge showed his typical speed to lead all through and win the intensity by 1-1/4 lengths over Nature Strip, with Classique Legend another 2-1/2 lengths away... James Mcdonald was glad to let the Royal Ascot victor truck along in the pioneer's slipstream and voyage to the line in a dismal sight for his spring rivals.
Individual Everest competitor Lost And Running was permitted to discover real confidence early and hit the line pleasantly for fourth.
Semillion to return at The Valley
Wayne Hawkes is confident a re-visitation of the short course at Moonee Valley will draw out a superior appearance from three-year-old Semillion. The Hawkes Racing-prepared runner was fruitful on debut at Moonee Valley on delicate ground and may have comparative ground on Saturday when he challenges the Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1000m).
It will be Semillion's previously taken shots at weight-for-age and taking on more seasoned runners, a reality not lost on Hawkes, but rather simultaneously he accepts the runner is capable. Semillion is falling off a first-up rearward in the Group 3 Vain Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield on August 13, a get that Hawkes put down to the three-year-old's lively way of behaving.
"I wouldn't agree that disheartened, yet he's a foal and they can do that to you," Hawkes said.
Semillions two successes from five beginnings have come on impacted ground, albeit the foal ran second on a decent track in a Blue Diamond Prelude prior to completing fifth in the Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield. Hawkes said he was anticipating that Moonee Valley should suit on-pacers on Saturday with the rail back in the genuine position... VISIT HERE
"You would figure it will be a pioneers track and when you say that all that will go 'in no time flat' and something sitting back will win," Hawkes said.
"Track conditions won't annoy him. He won his initial beginning here on a delicate track and he came out on top in the main race at the Championships in Sydney on an unlimited 20, so he goes great in the wet.
"A large portion of the Shalaa resembles wet tracks, so being wet won't concern us."
Hawkes said Semillion's presentation will decide if the Group 1 Moir Stakes over Saturday's course and distance could be on the plan toward the month's end.
"There are no plans," Hawkes said.
"It's a decent race for him, 1000 meters at weight-for-age, despite the fact that he's not too off being a two-year-old Group victor, however that won't stop him assuming that he's sufficient."
