“He has to be good enough for the race we want, which is the Caulfield Cup where he is going to get 53 or 53.5 kilograms,” Price told Racing.com.

“And whilst Blake Shinn won on him, he’s not going to ride 53.5 (kilograms), so we have spoken to Michael Dee and it would be nice to get a continuity of rider.

“The Makybe Diva you will see him running on, one would assume, and the same with the Turnbull, and I think he’ll come into his own for the Caulfield Cup.

“Want to be careful of the horse and the longevity aspect of him. I think is more gruelling than what people think.”

Warmonger is currently a $15 chance for the Caulfield Cup with horse racing bookmakers.
