Mossurmi has given Marc Conners' stable a boost over recent weeks and the trainer is hoping to continue the momentum at Randwick on Tuesday with Mandlikova.

A daughter of My Czech Chick who was trained by Conners, Mandlikova ran an encouraging fourth on debut at Kembla Grange in a race won by Wyong Slipper winner Cortina Gal.

Her jockey Craig Agnew, who will be aboard again at Randwick, has formed a profitable partnership with Conners in recent months not least of all due to Mossurmi.

"I've had a lot of luck with Craig and I think we both needed it," Conners said.

"He's had some problems with suspensions and injuries while my stable has been going through a rebuilding phase.

"Things are going well now especially with Mossurmi.

"He has always shown ability but he's jumped out of the ground this winter and is really liking the wet tracks.

"I'm not so sure about Mandlikova. She seemed to handle the slow track at Kembla alright but her mother didn't and her brother Prince Of Prague hated it.

"I'm hoping she's the exception in the family."

A win by Mandlikova in the Queen's Park Handicap (1200m) would have even greater significance for Conners who has the leasing rights to her mother.

"To breed a winner and train it would be great," he said.

"I also have a share in her. In fact I have shares in most of my horses and I think it gives the owners confidence to know that."

Conners works a team of around 18 horses at any one time at his stable adjacent to that of his father Clarry.

"That's a number that's comfortable for me," he said.

"It enables me to concentrate on them all."

The two 1300 metre races at the Randwick meeting will start on the course proper instead of the chute because the rail will be out 12 metres creating a bottleneck where the two meet.

The track was rated a heavy (9) on Monday with a possible upgrade to (8) overnight.
