New Zealand-bred stayer Prince Of Penzance is a likely $A350,000 Gr.2 Zipping Classic (2400m) contender.
Trainer Darren Weir favours a quick back-up this weekend for the Pentire gelding, who finished runner-up in the Gr.3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Flemington last Saturday.
“I’d say this bloke will go to Sandown and I wouldn’t mind just a little bit of chop in the ground,” he said.
“He’s Kiwi-bred and most of them seem to like racing on the back-up. I guess there’s only one way to find out.”
