Trainer Allan Sharrock couldn’t be any happier with his Group One winner Ladies Man at this stage of his preparation, but admits he faces a near impossible task at Te Rapa on Sunday.

Allan Sharrock isn’t expecting first-up fireworks from Ladies Man on his home track on Saturday, with the focus on upcoming Group One targets.

"We are all up in the air with the change in venues, but I am really happy with him so we will head towards those Group Ones.”

“999, the last one is always the hardest to get but it looks like we’ve got a really nice team on Saturday."

Winter warhorse Justaskme is already a two-time winner of the Listed Opunake Cup, and New Plymouth trainer Allan Sharrock is using Saturday’s Valley D’Vine Restaurant Handicap as a springboard into another shot at the local feature on July 20.
