Tim Martin is hoping a drop in class can be the catalyst for stakes-placed filly Lohan returning to winning form at Canterbury on Wednesday.

The three-year-old resumes in the Grand Pavilion Handicap (1200m) for her first start since finishing down the track in the Group Three Silver Shadow Stakes at Warwick Farm in August.

"She's not up to the better quality three-year-old fillies so we've had to come back in grade," Martin said.

"We threw her in the deep end in the early spring and she wasn't measuring up so she went out to bring her back for races through the summer."

Lohan had seven starts as a two-year-old, winning her first two at Tamworth and Rosehill in October last year.

In the autumn Lohan resumed with a second to Decision Time in the Listed Black Opal Stakes at Canberra before a fifth in the Magic Night and 13th in the Golden Slipper.

"She has come back well this preparation and trialled well," Martin said.

"The people riding her work feel she may get a bit further this time in too, up to seven furlongs (1400m) and maybe a mile (1600m).

"If she runs well tomorrow she'll then go to Saturday class, but we'll just take it race by race."

The Rosehill trainer has also elected to run Blueys Way in Wednesday's Slipper On Sale Handicap (1550m) after his disappointing first-up showing at Rosehill on December 4 when he finished last.

"His first-up run was awful but he just didn't handle the heavy ground, he floundered in it and was gone at the 700-metre mark," Martin said.

"He ran last but the boy (apprentice Taylor Lovelock-Wiggins) didn't knock him about and he's done well since."

Martin said Blueys Way had it in him to turn that performance around if things go his way.

"He's definitely capable (of bouncing back) if he gets a good run in transit," the trainer said.

"He doesn't like firm tracks and he doesn't like heavy tracks but hopefully he should get a nice track with a bit of cushion."

Blueys Way is unbeaten in two starts at Canterbury.

Meanwhile, the Martin-trained Monton arrived in New Zealand on Tuesday ahead of his Group One assignment in the Railway Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie on New Year's Day.

Monton won the Group Two Hobartville Stakes defeating Shoot Out in the autumn and returned with an impressive last-to-first victory over 1100m at Rosehill on December 4.

Martin said the gelding travelled well and would have a light week to settle in.

"He's done well since his first-up run and he's best kept fresh so we're keeping him fresh," he said.

"It will be four weeks between his first-up run and the Railway and then another three weeks to the (Group One) Telegraph Handicap. If he runs well in the Railway that's where he'll go, otherwise he'll come home."
