Mick Price is expecting to make more winning noise with Marconi. The crack 3YO goes around at Flemington on Sat before heading for a spell. Price has booked top apprentice Jason Maskiell for the ride in the Fiesta Star Handicap (1000 metres). There will likely be only 5 other runners, including smart Sydney colt Winter King and the Lee Freedman-trained filly Tariks, who have both been stakes placed.

Mick Price is expecting to make more winning noise with Marconi. The crack 3YO goes around at Flemington on Sat before heading for a spell. Price has booked top apprentice Jason Maskiell for the ride in the Fiesta Star Handicap (1000 metres). There will likely be only 5 other runners, including smart Sydney colt Winter King and the Lee Freedman-trained filly Tariks, who have both been stakes placed. MP says: 'I don't need to cook him as a three-year-old in races like the Lightning Stakes next month and the Oakleigh Plate in February, so I'll spell him for six weeks after he runs on Saturday.' Marconi scored a six-length debut win over 1000 metres at Stony Creek on Nov 6 and a 5-length win at Caulfield on Dec 5 at his only two starts.
