Trackwork times and an early betting move suggest Kiss From A Rose will have the better of stablemate More Strawberries in the Triscay Stakes, but trainer Gai Waterhouse isn't totally convinced.

"I wouldn't take anything away from More Strawberries," Waterhouse said.

"When has she not put in a good run?"

More Strawberries, withdrawn from the Light Fingers Stakes last week because of a "snotty nose", resumes in the $100,000 Listed race over 1200m at Rosehill on Saturday.

Waterhouse concedes it won't be an easy task despite dismissing the significance of the setback.

"It was nothing," she said.

"Just a snotty nose. She never missed a day's work and she shot the breeze down (in the water) at Botany Bay the other day."

More Strawberries is the only filly in the race and has to give weight to her more seasoned rivals.

But Waterhouse has form on the board with three-year-olds in the Triscay with Light Up The World's win in 1995 the only victory so far for the age group.

Light Up The World went into the race off restricted class form and had the 51kg limit while More Strawberries, with two Group Two wins and Golden Slipper and Flight Stakes placings alongside her name, will carry 57kg on a 53kg minimum.

"She's against the mares which is always a little bit harder but she's won $600,000 in prizemoney and they (her opposition) haven't," Waterhouse said.

More Strawberries, a Nash Rawiller mount, holds down second favouritism at $6.50 after Kiss From A Rose was the first Triscay runner backed, firming from $2.90 to $2.80.

"She's a lovely Encosta (De Lago), very big and very strong," Waterhouse said of Kiss From A Rose.

Jim Cassidy rides Kiss From A Rose, the winner of three races in a career restricted to five starts, for the first time.

The mare is unbeaten when resuming and underlined her stakes potential in two spring runs which included a placing in The Nivison after sitting deep on the track without cover.

Her work on Tuesday over 1000m was topped off with a sub 11-second final 200m to clinch best of the morning honours for the Tulloch Lodge team.

The Triscay has attracted 13 acceptors with another Randwick-trained mare expected to provide strong opposition for the Waterhouse duo.

Cabernet will make her debut at stakes level after earning a carnival campaign on the back of a hat-trick of wins.

"If the leaders come back to the field then she will be right in the race," trainer Grahame Begg said.

A four-year-old with a 50 per cent winning strike rate with four wins from eight starts, Cabernet looked in black-type order when she finished off impressively behind weight-for-age star Theseo in a Randwick barrier trial last week.
