Trainer Paul Cave has seen a change in hardy six-year-old Monsieur Sisu and hopes his newfound toughness, mirroring that which his trainer is showing, can transfer to a deserved win at Rosehill on Saturday.

昨日的黄金海岸赛会上，布里斯班第一骑师杰夫•劳埃德在策骑两场后出现了身体不适的状况，未能再履行其他策骑聘约。按照竞赛理事组的指示，本周六挑战斯特拉布罗克让赛前，劳埃德须先经过医生的健康检查。该即将退役的老将在斯特拉布罗克让赛上预订的坐骑是赌市的第三热门「佩拉斯特」，为了匹配负重，近几日他正在努力减重4公斤，外界猜测昨日他的不适与此有关。
