Forsman adds to Melbourne arsenal

Last start Group One winner Mustang Valley is set to fly to Melbourne next week as she adds further arsenal to the Australian raiding party of the in-form Andrew Forman stable.

The four-year-old daughter of Vanbrugh was a runaway winner of the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) at Hastings last weekend.

The ease of the more than five length victory and the manner in which the mare has come through the run prompted connections to commit to a brief Melbourne raid.

Forsman confirmed the two likely races in consideration are the Gr.1 Champions Stakes (2000m) and the Gr.2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m), both run at Flemington on November 5.

Mustang Valley will travel to Australia mid next week and there is also the option of the Gr.1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on October 29, but at this stage the mare is more likely to be seen a week later.

Forsman had a treble at Caulfield last weekend with Mr Maestro, Aegon and Saint Bathans, while She’s Licketysplit has also enjoyed a fruitful campaign in Melbourne.

Stakes winning gelding White Noise has also crossed the Tasman for Forsman and the four-year-old holds a nomination for Sunday’s A$200,000 Listed Sale Cup (1600m).
