Proven Thoroughbreds’ will be represented by up to nine runners in the week ahead, depending on the weather gods.
Sydney Saturday racing returns to Rosehill where the Joe Pride-trained ARGENT D’OR and TAMARACK (pictured) are confirmed runners in the 1100m BM88 and 1800m BM78 respectively.
However, stablemate GAMBLESTOWN could be saved for the following Saturday at Randwick where a 1600m BM88 awaits.
Lightly-raced gelding SHOW ME THE HONEY is another Pride stable member Saturday acceptor, in a C1 1000m at Kembla Grange, but could also be kept for another day – most likely a 1000m C3 at Goulburn.
Meanwhile in sunny Brisbane, trainer Steve O’Dea is preparing to run three Proven Thoroughbreds gallopers.
Debut winner INVIGORATING takes on a smart field in the 1200m QTIS 3YO Handicap but couldn’t have been more impressive when knocking off an odds-on favourite at Ipswich 10 days ago.
In the 1350m NMW Handicap SCALLOPINI continues his preparation in search for a fourth win in 11 career starts while old stager REALLY REILLY lines up in the 1600m BM80.
Then on Wednesday at the Sunshine Coast, stablemate CHOREOGRAPH is set to run in the 1600m C1 while at Canterbury, the John Thompson-trained TAHSIN resumes in the 1250m BM74.
Promising filly BRING ME SHOWERS is due to trial at Wyong on Monday.
