Ready To Lift capped a great day for Gerald Ryan at Rosehill with her Kingston Town Stakes victory giving the trainer a winning treble and reinforcing her claims for the Metropolitan Handicap.

Earlier in the day, exciting three-year-old Rothesay got his Caulfield Guineas campaign back on track with a victory over 1200 metres and Flushing Meadows scored an upset win in an 1100m handicap.

But it was the performance of Brisbane Cup runner-up Ready To Lift that brought the biggest grin to Ryan's face and brought up his first three-timer in almost a decade training in Sydney.

"She's been ticking over nicely but people have been dropping off her," Ryan said.

"She is a great little mare and she always tells me when she is ready to lift.

"The 2000 metres was what she was looking for and she will just get better as she goes further.

"This is my first treble since I've been training in Sydney so it's been a pretty good day."

Jim Cassidy tried to steal the race on Bellagio Wynn in a replica of his front running winning ride on Power To Surprise earlier in the day.

But Bellagio Wynn could not sustain the pace and was swamped late with Ready To Lift ($13) getting the better of $2.80 favourite Voice Coach by a short head.

God's Hand ($21) was 1-3/4 lengths third just ahead of Absent Friends with all four set to do battle again in the Colin Stephen Quality (2400m) in two weeks.

Ryan has no doubts Ready To Lift can go on with her winning ways after carrying topweight of 58 kilograms in the Kingston Town.

"The plan has always been the same, the Colin Stephen, the Metropolitan then the Moonee Valley Cup and the Melbourne Cup.

"This win puts her up the order for the Melbourne Cup and I've got no doubt she will run two miles (3200m)."

New Zealander Mr Tipsy ($7.50) finished 3-3/4 lengths eighth and didn't make up as much ground as co-trainer Bjorn Baker would have liked.

"It's back to the drawing board," Baker said.

"He kept going and the fast tempo didn't suit but I would have liked to have seen a bit more."

Weights for the Group One Metropolitan Handicap (2400m) on October 3 will be released on Monday with Ready To Lift currently on 51.5kg for the Melbourne Cup.
