Aysar attempts to snap losing run
The Lindsay Park-trained Aysar (Deep Field) will be out to snap a losing streak that stretches back nearly two years when he lines up in the G3 Bletchingly S. at Caulfield on Saturday.
After a short break, Aysar finished sixth to Mileva (Headwater) in the G3 Sir John Monash S. at Caulfield on July 9 and Lindsay Park has adopted a change of training regime since.
"He's going to get a drying track which is fantastic," Ben Hayes said. "I don't think a Soft 7 is his right surface even though he won on a wet track as a younger horse.
"He probably needs to improve a bit on that last run after a couple of trials, but he did surprise me with how much of a blow he did have.
"He's got a tendency at home to work excellently and then not show it on raceday, so we've kept him on the fresh side, and hopefully he can show that excellent work on raceday."
High hopes for King Of Sparta
After things didn’t go to plan at his last start, Paul Snowden knows how he’d like Saturday’s G3 Bletchingly S. to unfold for King Of Sparta (I Am Invincible).
“He’s a horse that, if there's a nice, genuine tempo, that certainly helps the horse,” said Snowden, who trains in partnership with his father, Peter.

“We just want to see a nice, free-flowing type of race tempo-wise, just get his chance to get to the outside and let down, that’s what we want to see.
“He needs a drying surface, so I’m hoping he can get that at Caulfield. He’s gone down there well and in good order, he had a nice little blow out Monday morning at the trials just to get him back into shape."
Sadler chases big-race double
Trainer John Sadler will be hoping half-brothers Sartorial Splendor (Brazen Beau) and Manhattan Thunder (Manhattan Rain) can land their respective races at Caulfield on Saturday.
Sartorial Splendor will contest the day's feature, the G3 Bletchingly S., while Manhattan Thunder steps out in the VOBIS Gold Ingot.
"He's now just starting to put it together, where he's not over-racing and his last three starts, even though he hasn't won, have definitely three of the better runs in his career,” Sadler said of Sartorial Splendor.
Scallopini makes trip south
A lack of suitable options in Queensland has led to Steven O’Dea and Matthew Hoysted bringing Scallopini (Snitzel) to Melbourne to race for the rest of this campaign.
The dual Listed Sunshine Coast Cup winner is set to line up at Caulfield on Saturday in the G3 Bletchingly S.
“He’s obviously a horse that’s a little bit hard to place now with where his rating sits up in Queensland,” O’Dea told Racing.com.

“After the Winter Carnival, there probably wasn’t much for him until the Summer Carnival, Magic Millions time and he’s a horse that likes to race a bit fresh anyway, so it’s probably one of those things, we were going to the sprint on Magic Millions Day either first-up or second-up, so I thought it was a good option to come down early in the spring down here in Melbourne before the races got too hard.
“Some of these races earlier on can come up with not as much depth to them and for where his rating sits at, he’s probably well treated in a race like the Bletchingly.”
Sinawann back on track
Having not been seen since the G1 CF Orr S. in February, the Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained Sinawann (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) stepped out at the Werribee jump-outs on Friday.
The rising 6-year-old looked to tire at the end of his 800-metre jump-out, which did not worry co-trainer Sam Freedman.
“He was fine,” Freedman told Racing.com. “He’s obviously had a long enough lay off and a little injury out of his last start so we’ve been building him up slowly.
“This morning - he’s only had a couple of gallops – so, this morning we were treating it just like another piece of work.
“He got tired late. He was a little bit fresh early in the trial but we didn’t knock him about. His action felt good which is the most important thing and so we’ll start to up his work between now and his next jump-out.”
Freedman said the G1 Memsie S. would likely be Sinawann’s first start.
