Local trainer Glen Milligan is very optimistic about Stratum Chief’s chances of breaking through for a win in the Ladies Day Sun 19th Feb Country Boosted Maiden Plate over 1300m at Friday’s Taree meeting.

For comeback stallion Vilified ($23 on TAB), natural instincts prevailed and so costly in arguably the unlucky run of the day at headquarters and a return for Saturday’s Rosehill Gardens TAB Highway.

Vilified ($19 into $16 on TAB), a brave injury plagued half-brother entire to the mighty Yes Yes Yes and a Maher & Eustace discard, is pure inspiration into a Royal Randwick TAB Highway on Saturday.

Trainer Colt Prosser reckons he's due for a change of luck and is hopeful it arrives at Grafton on Friday.
