A host of South Australian sprinters are set to kick off their spring campaigns in Saturday’s $300,000 Group 2 Caulfield Sprint (1000m).
Redelva Stakes winner Champagne Dreams and D C McKay Stakes winner Free Of Debt are set to resume from successful Adelaide Racing Carnival campaigns along with Will Clarken's Beau Rossa who hasn't raced since running down the track in the Group 1 Goodwood at Morphettville in May.
Champagne Dreams had a gallop between races at Morphettville recently and co-trainer Glen Kent said the mare was in good order.
"She's going along great,'' Kent said.
Jake Toeroek will continue his association with Champagne Dreams making the trip to ride.
Beau Rossa will be joined in Melbourne by stablemate Ironclad, set to run in the $200,000 Group 3 Moonga Stakes over 1400m, with Todd Pannell also making the trip Melbourne to ride.
Both Clarken horses are among nominations for a host of Western Australian Summer Carnival features.
Beau Rossa and Ironclad are both nominated for the Group 1 Winterbottom and Group 1 Railway Stakes at Ascot in November, Ironclad also nominated for the Group 1 Northerly Stakes over 1800m, while both horses could head towards the $1.5m TAB Touch – The Gold Rush (1400m) at Ascot on December 10.
