Group One winner Seabrook will attempt to gain more black-type when she lines-up in the Gr.1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill on Saturday.

Trainer Mick Price was content with her third-placing in the Gr.3 H.D.F McNeil Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield earlier this month, but has been pleased with her progress since then and believes she is primed for Saturday.

“I think she has improved out of sight,” he said. She had two trials at Cranbourne, one was average and one was okay. Her first-up run was okay.

“On the inside grass here (at Caulfield) on Saturday morning she went super and Damien (Oliver) rode her here this morning. He can be critical of them Damien, he’s a very good judge, and he just got off and said she’s spot on.”

Meanwhile, Hiyaam will head to Caulfield on Saturday for the the Gr.3 MRC Foundation Cup (2000m) and her trainer thinks she is better suited to that distance after disappointing when tailing the field home in the Gr.2 Dato’ Tan Chin Nam Stakes (1600m) last-start.

“She’s fine, I think she just wants a distance,” Price said. “She either wants 2000m or 2400m, somewhere there.

“We’re getting to the pointy edge of trying to get runs and she is down the order of entry in some of these bigger races, but we’ll do our best.”
