The three-year-old is out to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Menangle in a NSW Breeders Challenge heat on his home track on Friday night.

While barrier 10 is a concern, Wilmot believes this grade is much more suitable.

“I think he’s been a little hot and cold this season, and probably hasn’t aimed up to what we thought he would and was pretty disappointing at Menangle, but I thought I’d drop him back in grade and let him find his feet,” Wilmot said.

“We’ve had a fair bit of trouble with him but I think we’ve got him right now.”

Before the last start ninth at Menangle, he hadn’t finished outside the top three in his last four starts including a win at Canberra in a similiar grade and a third in the Breeders Challenge heat at Young.

“The draw will make it hard and I backed off him after the Breeders Challenge, but he will be fine,” Wilmot said.

Wilmot will also line up another three-year-old, Mako Bay.

He’s found a much easier race than his stablemate and after drawing barrier three in the TAB Lordship Pace (1720m) Wilmot is looking to be positive at the start.

“He’s deadset luckless," he said.

“He got injured before he raced at Canberra, and we thought we had him near where he should be.

“I actually quite like the horse, he’s a nice little mile horse with a nice turn of foot, so I think it should suit him too.”
