First-up specialist Patronyme heads Joe Pride's three strong attack on the Triscay Stakes with the trainer confident she can keep her fresh record intact.

Saturday's Rosehill meeting also heralds the return of stable star Vision And Power who lines up against a crack field in the Apollo Stakes.

The Group Two feature attracted 15 nominations while 19 fillies and mares were entered for the Listed Triscay Stakes (1200m).

Patronyme has a perfect record of three from three first-up and Pride believes the race will suit her more than Bejewelled or Sacred Choice but expects them to be competitive.

"The distance suits Patronyme while I expect Sacred Choice to go on and get over further as her preparation goes along," Pride said.

"Bejewelled is a heavy track horse and is just not as effective on better than that.

"Of the three, Patronyme looks the best on Saturday but there are some really good races for them all.

"It's a great carnival for the mares and there are many races to choose from."

The slow track at Randwick on Saturday wasn't wet enough for Bejewelled who ran seventh in the Group Two Breeders Classic won by Alverta.

The mare has won four races on heavy ground and two on good but none on anything in between while both Patronyme and Sacred Choice are adept on all sorts of footing.

Now a five-year-old, Patronyme has had just 10 starts after spending two years on the sidelines following her debut win in April 2007 for then Crown Lodge trainer John Hawkes.

She had an infected tendon sheath which took time to heal but, nursed along by Pride, she has only missed a place once in her nine starts for the trainer.

Her stablemate Hadaaf is a sharp contrast with the seven-year-old to line up for his 69th start on Saturday when he joins Vision And Power in the Apollo.
