Tony Pike’s focus with Treasure has turned to Australia after a foot abscess forced the filly’s withdrawal from Saturday’s Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Trentham.
“We got close with her, but not close enough,” the Cambridge trainer said. “It’s a shame as I thought she was a big chance. She’ll probably be sound as a bell on Monday or Tuesday so we’ll look to Sydney.
“There are a couple of options heading toward the Oaks so we’re looking at those.”
