Promising three-year-old Perfect Pecs has been freshened and will reappear with spring aspirations at Sandown on Wednesday.

Trainer Rick Hore-Lacy eased up on the son of Anabaa after launching his campaign with three runs in as many weeks and drops his race distance back 700m in the `Like' Caulfield Racing On Facebook Hcp (1300m).

"He's a pretty good horse but because we stood him up three weekends in a row we decided to ease right back in his work," Hore-Lacy said.

"Wednesday is a suitable distance given the amount of work he has done as we have just cantered him around and put him on the walker."

Perfect Pecs has raced seven times including in the Victoria Derby last spring but Hore-Lacy says he is yet to show his best.

His only win was at Kyneton last spring when he also finished second to Milestone in the Listed Geelong Classic (2206m).

He wasn't the same horse in the Derby when beaten 35 lengths but he has been competitive this campaign, finishing on the heels of the placegetters when fourth at Cranbourne (1300m) and fifth to Midnight Martini at Sandown (1600m).

Last start he again ran a brave race, beaten just 2-1/2 lengths when finishing sixth to Midnight Martini in a field of 17 at Flemington (2000m).

"He is a better horse than he has shown and with any luck he will demonstrate that this time in," Hore-Lacy said.

"While the distance looks too short for him on Wednesday I think he will be finishing off strongly and could run very well."

Hore-Lacy said Perfect Pecs was a talented stayer in the making and hopes that he will measure up in the spring.

"He will be entered in some of the better races," Hore-Lacy said.

"We live in dreams in this business and we would be hoping that he develops into a fine stayer."

Hore-Lacy, who is taking it easy himself this week after suffering an attack of Bell's palsy which has affected the right side of his face, has four runners at Sandown.

Lisa Cropp rides Perfect Pecs and last-start Sandown placegetter Rainbow Queen, apprentice Daniel Stackhouse is on Gone Skiing and Dwayne Dunn will partner Rhiannon's Joy.
