The owners of talented colt State Of Wealth are daring to dream of the Group One Caulfield Guineas in October following the three-year-old's impressive victory at Eagle Farm.

State Of Wealth made up for his unlucky second on debut at Caloundra 10 days ago with a commanding four-length win over Sweet And Vicious in Wednesday's Noel Wilson Memorial Maiden Plate (1200m).

Trainer Brian Smith tipped a bright future for the son of Ad Valorem who was knocked down for $50,000 at the Magic Millions.

"He's got to prove himself in a three-year-old open race on a Saturday first but he's been nominated for the Caulfield Guineas," Smith said.

"He's a very classy animal."

State Of Wealth is raced by Glenn Buckland, Daryl Pollock and the Money And Chicks syndicate which is managed by Brisbane Roar corporate sales manager Ben Mannion.

Pollock's father, Graham, is a licensed trainer in his own right and is a member of the Money And Chicks syndicate.

He trained Californian Girl who finished fourth.

Graham Pollock, who runs a pre-training property at Yandina in Queensland's Sunshine Coast hinterland, was responsible for purchasing State Of Wealth at the Magic Millions yearling sales.

"His grandmother, Ruffles, won a (Group One) Newmarket Handicap," Pollock said.

"I go to all the yearling sales and I picked him out as one of the best at the sales.

"I thought he would be in my price range of $50,000 but I ran into a trainer at the sales who told me he expected him to fetch around $100,000.

"I wasn't too happy so I went back into the ring and still made a bid.

"I couldn't believe it when no-one else wanted him and when he was knocked down to us I was shaking all over."

Meanwhile, hard work and determination continues to pay off for talented apprentice Priscilla Schmidt who landed her second metropolitan winner aboard Flying Touchdown in the Coca-Cola Amatil Handicap (1840m).

Schmidt quit a career as a flight attendant to follow her dream to become a jockey.

Flying Touchdown landed the fifth win of his 31-start career by downing Scarlett Jo by a half-neck with Shezahotshot three-quarters of a length away third.

Schmidt, 21, has the perfect bloodlines to be a jockey and is following in the footsteps of her father, Eagle Farm trainer Dwayne Schmidt who was also a former jockey.

Schmidt had her first race ride at Lismore in December 2009 after turning her back on a career as a flight attendant with Jetstar.

She has ridden more than 90 winners on the provincial circuit and is in no hurry to ride more regularly in the Brisbane metropolitan area.

"For the time being I want to continue to ride at the provincials to get my claim down from two kilograms," she said.
