METAL Bender will be switched to Cups mode and ridden quietly in the Group One Turnbull Stakes, reports the Daily Telegraph.
It says: Sydney's best chance in the weight-for-age contest drew barrier 15 yesterday and trainer Chris Waller said the wide gate had forced his hand to ride Metal Bender cold.
"I haven't had a good chat to Hugh [Bowman] yet or really had a good look at the speed in the race but I think it gives us the best opportunity to go back," he said.
"He is heading towards the Cups so we need him to relax in his races. He needs to be able to settle and work to the line strongly and I feel riding him just that little bit quiet will give him the best opportunity to do so."
