Brett Cavanough feels the love for filly

IN-FORM Albury trainer Brett Cavanough expects a strong showing from unbeaten filly Loved Up when she tackles group three company at the Championships tomorrow.

Cavanough has impressive Wagga debutant winner Loved Up and exciting three-year-old Scatcat nominated for group three events on the bumper program at Randwick.

While Scatcat is first emergency for the $200,000 P J Bell Stakes (1200m), Cavanough has snared the services of Damien Oliver to ride Loved Up in the $200,000 Kindergarten Stakes (1100m).

Loved Up gave the leaders about 12 lengths when straightening up on debut at Wagga, but stormed home to claim an eye-catching win.

Cavanough yesterday warned that Loved Up, rated the $31 outsider, is better than what she showed at Wagga.

"We're going to the Championships and supposedly anything that wasn't ready to go to the Slipper is up and about for the Kindergarten," Cavanough said.

"We're going in with our eyes wide open but she's better than what you seen at Wagga and everyone thought she went super."

Loved Up is drawn barrier three and will take on two-year-olds from stables such as Gai Waterhouse, Chris Waller, team Hawkes and Gerald Ryan.

Cavanough is happy to have Oliver on board.

"He's obviously a good rider and as good as any jockey within Australia," Cavanough said.

"Everyone else seems to have forgotten Olly but I certainly haven't forgotten him and he'll be super, I reckon."

Scatcat is the first emergency for the group three for three-year-old fillies which has attracted a full field of 18, plus four emergencies.

Cavanough is yet to book a jockey as he waits to see whether the talented filly gains a start.

"She's first emergency so I'll just wait and see," Cavanough said.

"If she gets a run, she'll go.

"I don't know how she will handle the heavy but there is only one way to find out."

Cavanough said there was not one filly's chances he was more excited about before the trip up the Hume Highway.

"I don't particularly focus on one, it's the overall picture for me," Cavanough said.

"You've got Scatcat, Niblick, Boys On Tour, plenty of quality horses so I just keep my head down and keep working on one after another, each horse as an individual."
