Jamie Kah is set to partner Southport Tycoon for the first time as the dual Group 2 runner-up aims to secure a breakthrough win in the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m).
Expressing confidence in the horse's capabilities, managing owner Nathan Bennett told Racing.com, “I know he got beat (in the Autumn Stakes) but I still think he's a pretty good horse and I think grand final day he's ready to peak and ready for a top run and out to the mile suits.
:I think if he had his time again Damian (Lane) probably would have built a bit of momentum and not sit so pretty … sometimes it's a game of inches.
“He is probably a $5 or $6 chance if he wins the other day.”
Trained by Ciaron Maher, Southport Tycoon has yet to secure a victory since winning his first two starts last year.
