Proven Thoroughbreds will have its first runner for new trainer Kerry Parker this week.
GREENSPAN, formerly prepared by the now retired John Bateman, heads to Warwick Farm on Wednesday for Parker and has been specked at big odds, firming from $101 into $67.
On his best form, GREENSPAN could certainly make his presence felt but strikes an unusually strong off-season midweek race.
On Saturday, Proven will be represented by a pair of stakes runners in the shape of SCALLOPINI and STOCKMAN.
The resuming SCALLOPINI lines up in the Group 2 Moreton Cup (1200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday while STOCKMAN backs up for the third consecutive Saturday in the Listed Winter Cup (2400m) at Rosehill.

Upcoming Proven Thoroughbreds runners
Warwick Farm Wednesday June 2
BM72 Handicap 1400m:
GREENSPAN
Kerry Parker/Louise Day (a2)
Comment: Has caught the eye late in two runs over 1300m. Crying out for the extra distance and gets in on a lightweight but strikes a hot midweek race.
Rosehill Saturday June 5
Listed Winter Cup 2400m:
STOCKMAN
Joe Pride/Sam Clipperton
Comment: Brave as ever last Saturday with 60.5kg. The winner had the drop on him and a 6.5kg weight advantage so for the margin to only be half a length was a huge effort. They cleared out from the rest. Backing up for the second Saturday in a row but racing well.
Eagle Farm Saturday June 5
Group 2 Moreton Cup 1200m:
SCALLOPINI
Steve O’Dea & Matt Hoysted/Baylee Nothdurft
Comment: Looks well placed at the weights and always runs well fresh. Coming off a minor set back but all signs are that he is ready to go.
Goulburn Monday June 6
Class 3 Handicap 1500m:
MACCOMO
Joe Pride/Tyler Schiller
Comment: Ran well coming back in trip at Canterbury last time out. Wants 1500m now and should take some beating back to this level.
