Patinack Farm has rolled the dice and will take the soft option in a bid to boost the bank balance of three of its winter carnival hopefuls at Eagle Farm on Wednesday.

Trainer John Thompson has bigger plans ahead during the winter for youngsters Levi's Choice who runs in the Ambassador Travel Handicap (1400m) and Dance Of The Ocean in the www.brc.com.au Maiden Plate (1200m), while three-year-old Mother's Milk will start in the ASM Handicap (1400m).

Levi's Choice was also nominated for the $100,000 Listed Hampden Stakes (1200m) at Doomben on Saturday but Thompson preferred the midweek option for the son of Galileo who is being directed towards next month's Group One TJ Smith (1600m) at Eagle Farm.

Thompson also preferred Dance Of The Ocean to make her debut at Eagle Farm instead of a Maiden Plate (1100m) at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Levi's Choice arrived at Patinack Farm's Gold Coast stables last week following his unlucky third to Offshore Sham over 1200 metres at Hawkesbury on May 1.

"He's been here a week and has settled in well," Patinack Farm's assistant trainer Toby Edmonds said.

"He looks a nice horse and I haven't had to do much with him since his arrival.

"We've decided to run him tomorrow because he's looking for 1400 metres and Saturday's race may be a bit short as it's only 1200 metres.

"All going well both two-year-olds will head towards the Sires' Produce Stakes and Levi's Choice has been nominated as well for the TJ Smith."

Patinack Farm won last year's TJ Smith with Linky Dink when the filly was prepared by Jason Coyle.

Levi's Choice went down by less than two lengths in his debut at Hawkesbury but many believed he should have won after he blundered twice and raced greenly in the straight.

Dance Of The Ocean has been with Edmonds a little longer than her stablemate and has two barrier trials since coming north.

After placing in trials at Hawkesbury and Warwick Farm in December, the daughter of Danzero won a 1000-metre barrier trial at the Gold Coast on April 6 before a game second over 1100 metres at Eagle Farm two weeks later.

Edmonds expects a strong showing from Levi's Choice but is wary about Dance Of The Ocean's prospects on debut.

"Levi's Choice has a good barrier (three) and should run well but I'm not sure whether Dance Of The Ocean may need a bit of time," he said.

Mother's Milk, a last-start second on the cushion track at Caloundra, is being aimed at the Group One Queensland Oaks (2400m) at Eagle Farm on June 5.

The daughter of Savabeel has $23,550 in prizemoney from a win and two seconds in her six-start career.

"Unfortunately, she missed running at Eagle Farm last Wednesday and she needs some prizemoney if she's to run in the Oaks," Edmonds said.
