Adelaide galloper Right Fong will return to Flemington on Saturday for his last run before being flown to Western Australian for the Perth Cup on New Year's Day.

Trainer David Balfour said the Western Health Cup (2000m) would suit the six-year-old who two starts ago charged home at Flemington to win the Listed Johnnie Walker Stakes (1800m) on Melbourne Cup day.

"The beautiful big track is what he likes and he should be hard to beat," Balfour said.

Balfour has spaced Right Fong's races this campaign and last start he was the victim of a hot pace when he started favourite and finished fourth over 1800 metres at Morphettville on November 21.

"He is a horse you have got to hold up as he has only got a 300-metre run and last start he got to the front too soon carrying 58kg," Balfour said.

"The extra 200 metres is going to suit him on Saturday and this will be only his fifth run in this campaign so he's just on the way up."

Balfour said Right Fong would be flown to Perth next Tuesday to give him time to adjust to the new surroundings.

Balfour rode in Perth as jockey but Right Fong will be the first horse he has trained to race there.

"We could back him up a week after Flemington in the Cox Stakes (2100m) but we will give him time to settle in and won't run him again before the Perth Cup," Balfour said.

"He can do plenty of work once he's over there and I think he will appreciate two or three weeks before the Cup.

"He is not a hard horse to train and it is just a matter of keeping the fitness up to him."

Balfour said the 2400 metres of the Perth Cup wouldn't be a worry for Right Fong as he finished third over 2500 metres at Morphettville on Anzac Day when he was wide all the way on heavy ground.

"It was a terrific run that day and he should have won so I have no doubts about him running the journey," Balfour said.
