It has been a huge weekend for former Kiwi trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young as they target some of the major spoils on the Melbourne Spring Carnival.

The Lindsey Smith-trained Saone will have her second tilt at black-type when she lines-up in the Gr.2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) at Caulfield on Sunday.

A crack at the $2 million Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) looms for The Holy One, a son of Tavistock, after the colt’s frontrunning victory in the Gr.2 Stutt Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley.

The David Brideoake-trained Princess Jenni came with a well-timed run under Damien Oliver to win the Gr.2 Stocks Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on Friday night, notching her fifth win from nine career starts.

A more favourable weight scale for Princess Jenni has her trainer David Brideoake expecting an improvement on her first-up run.

Tuesday’s release of Victoria Derby nominations contained two colts from the Lindsey Smith stable and the pair justified their payment fee 24 hours later at Flemington on Wednesday.
