Fresh off Port Lockroy’s impressive victory in the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) last Saturday, Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald are aiming for a second Group 1 triumph at the Perth Carnival.
This time, they’ll saddle up Lady Laguna in the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) this Saturday.
The connections are optimistic the five-year-old mare, to be ridden by James McDonald, can rebound after a disappointing tenth-place finish behind stablemate Sunshine In Paris in the Group 1 Champions Sprint (1200m) at Flemington.
“She’s good and has had a couple of nice pieces of work,” Archibald told TABradio.
“I can’t fault her and hopefully she can bounce back after she was disappointing down the straight in Melbourne.
“She’s going to have to be at her best, and Overpass is also in good order.
“She’ll have to be right at her top, but she should run a big race.”
