Niccanova is one of the roughies in the Epsom Handicap but he showed enough in the Shannon Stakes to convince owner Steve Tregea he is a genuine contender.

Bookmakers give little hope of winning the but Steve Tregea thinks otherwise.

Niccanova is a $61 pop with TAB fixed odds for the Group One race but Tregea believes the gelding’s fifth to in the last Saturday was a solid pointer.

“His run the other day indicated he’s back on track,” Tregea said.

“He’s at a long price but he’s worth running, I think. It’s an open race and it just comes down to luck in running.

“I wouldn’t be running him if I didn’t think he could perform well.”

Tregea was pleased to see a turnaround in Niccanova’s form after he beat only one runner home at his previous start in the .

“That was a pretty ordinary run but it probably didn’t suit him the way the race panned out being stuck back on the inside,” he said.

“It was a bit out of character. He’s usually a consistent horse and puts in every time so I didn’t really know what to make of that run.”

Because of COVID-19 border restrictions, Tregea elected to transfer Niccanova to Randwick trainer for the duration of his spring campaign.

“Craig believes we’ve got a bounce out of him since that last run,” Tregea said.

“He’s been riding him work and says he’s come through his last run well.

“In the past he’s backed up well so it’s all systems go as far we’re concerned.

“You’ve gotta have a go. That’s why he’s there.”

There will be echoes from history if fellow Queenslander can win the Epsom.

The grey’s purple and white colours were carried to victory by another cult hero, Gunsynd, when the Grey won the 1971 of the famous Randwick mile.
