Reliable Man filly to line up in Nitschke Stakes

The Mick Price and Micheal Kent jr-trained Annavisto (Reliable Man) will look to continue her good form when he lines HC Nitschke Stakes (Listed, 1400m) at Morphettville on Saturday.

The three-year-old filly has won three of her last four starts, including the Bendigo Guineas (Listed, 1400m) on March 27 and Kent Jnr is delighted with the wellbeing of the  filly. 

"She's dappled on the shoulders, the hind quarters, she's going so well," Kent Jr told RSN. 

"And she gets into Saturday's race really well. 

"She had to carry 60 kilos in the handicap last time but she'll come back to a set-weight and penalties and carry 55.5 (kg) on the Morphettville Parks track and I think she'll be hard to catch. 

"She's had a lovely preparation and she probably should have won all four starts to be fair. 

"I think it should be a nice run for her, it will end her campaign and then she can come back for the spring. 

"She's built a nice rating now so we can now have a go at some better races in the spring."
