Matamata trainer Cody Cole is following a similar blueprint to last year with his Group One performer Navigator, who will head into the Gr.1 TAB Telegraph (1200m) at Trentham on Saturday fresh-up.
Latrelle and Old Bill Bone may not be ideally suited by the conditions of the Gr.2 Manawatu Challenge Stakes (1400m) at Trentham, but there’s belief they can rise to the occasion.
Cody Cole had hoped to have his talented filly Renovations running on her home track this week, but instead, she will continue her campaign towards some lofty targets at Tauranga on Saturday.
Cody Cole made a winning start to his season earlier this week at Matamata, a trend he hopes to continue with a strong team heading down to Hastings on Saturday.
