A stirring victory by Juan Diva (Snitzel) in the Gr.3 WJ Healy Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday provided Trelawney Stud’s Taylor family with a remarkable tenth stakes win as owners for the season.

She was one of the feelgood stories of last spring, and Warrnambool-based trainer Symon Wilde hopes to have Tralee Rose (NZ) (Tavistock) return to the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) this year.

Leading trainer Annabel Neasham says she almost didn’t recognise star Mo’unga (NZ) (Savabeel) given how much he has matured in the spelling paddock.

Co-trainer Mick Price has always felt Annavisto (NZ) (Reliable Man) had a good race in her and has set the mare to win a Group One in Brisbane first-up.

Named after a New Zealand love song, Po Kare Kare (NZ) (Savabeel) makes a highly-anticipated progression to Saturday grade at Randwick.

Lindsay Park’s best horse Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) is back in work and this spring will closely follow the blue-print of the extraordinary 1990 spring campaign of former stable star Better Loosen Up (Loosen Up).

El Vencedor has added to the family’s Queensland roll of honour and will return home for a deserved break following a commanding performance to win at Doomben.

Trainer Michael Moroney has welcomed back his multiple Group One winner Tofane to his Flemington barn for one final preparation.

Rejuvenated mare Atishu (NZ) (Savabeel) will be vying to add a Group One crown to her mantle at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Having ironed out her barrier demons, former New Zealander Atishu (NZ) (Savabeel) is set to be given another Group One opportunity in the Tattersall’s Tiara (1400m).
