Chris Waller’s Racing Manager Liam Prior is joking when he says he’ll have to “contract out some help” with saddling duties before race five at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday.
The $85,000 ‘HG of Insurance’ Handicap (1400m) has just nine runners with six of them hailing from Waller’s all-powerful Rosehill Gardens barn.
“At this stage they will all run,” Prior told Racing Network on Thursday.
Prior explained how most of the horses engaged in the race needed to run to prepare them for summer goals in the coming weeks.
“Hoylonny missed the run last week when a late scratching at the barrier, so he has to run and You’ll Never, if he was to win, we’d back him up in the Villiers the following week,” he said.
“Index Linked is ready to go to the races, while Black Jag is another ready to go and his rating is low enough to get him ready for races at a suitable distance.
"Pythagorean is coming off a Goulburn Cup win, but he has to run and Amovatio looks really well suited here, perhaps better placed here than the Villiers the following week,” he explained.
In latest fixed-odds markets You'll Never is rated the favourite at $3.50 ahead of Amovatio at $3.80.
