Cranbourne trainer Ray Besanko will make a decision on Tuesday about whether the speedy Jeteven runs in Saturday's Redelva Handicap at Caulfield.

The $90,000 sprint is run over 1100m and attracted 28 entries with Besanko saying he wants to check out the opposition before he commits to a start.

At his latest appearance Jeteven nearly caused an upset when despite 25-1 odds he was runner-up to the talented Custodian over 1000m at Sandown on November 21.

That performance was not a surprise to Besanko who advised the owners to back the gelding each way after he worked so well the Tuesday before the race.

"He broke 33 (seconds) over 600m," said the trainer.

"And two runs back at Seymour he missed the start and ran third behind Wild One and Global Warming, but I think if he'd jumped he would have won.

"I'm 90 per cent sure he'll run on Saturday. The 1100m worries me because he's a 1000 metre specialist.

"But Caulfield is a flat track and I have very few other options for him."

The Super Jet six-year-old won his maiden over 1100m at Stony Creek, but his other four wins have been at 1000m including a Class 6 victory at Moonee Valley in February 2008 to give him four straight wins.

Since then he has won at Cranbourne - three starts back on October 11 - and been placed five times in town.

Apprentice Nathan Rose, who rode his second metropolitan double at Sandown last Wednesday, will pilot Jeteven if he runs on Saturday.

Besanko said he was the first trainer to put Rose on when he transferred from Barbara Marshman's Hamilton stables to be based at Cranbourne with the Colin and Cindy Alderson stable last season.

Rose won on the Besanko-trained 20-1 short Persian Review at Yarra Valley in December last year.

"He's ridden a few winners for me since then too," Besanko said.

"He sits on well and has a good head on his shoulders."

Rose has been aboard Jeteven at his past six starts.

Amongst the nominations received on Monday for the Redelva were Custodian, last Saturday's Moonee Valley winner Posadas, Time Matters, Happy Glen, Jeuneyman, Lord Monty, Diamonds At Dusk, Global Warming and Wild One.
