Pride Of Jenni, the accomplished Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) and Group 1 Champions Mile (1600m) victor from the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace stable, is gearing up for a lucrative autumn campaign.
The All Star Mile (1600m) at Caulfield on March 16 is a prime target for this Pride Of Dubai progeny.
“Pride Of Jenni’s going tremendous, she’s trialled up well, her trackwork’s been really good,” said stable representative Jack Turnbull.
She carries residual through her last prep, she put on 40 kilos, even for a short break she appears to be a bit more mature mentally, she’s not as hard on herself.”
Declan Bates, who rode Pride Of Jenni to both feature wins in the spring, was aboard for her first trial at Cranbourne on January 8.
“Declan came out, trialled her and she’ll have another before we look to go racing but the end goal will be the All-Star Mile,” said Turnbull.
“It’ll be a matter of how she trials next as to where she goes first up but we’re really pleased with her and she’s going as good as we could hope for.”
The Group 1 CF Orr Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on February 10 or the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at the same track a fortnight later are the probable starting points for Pride Of Jenni.
