Trainer Joe Pride believes Vision And Power can belie his first-up form and is primed for victory at Rosehill on Saturday.

Vision And Power runs in the Night Racing At Canterbury Handicap (1400m), his first start since finishing fourth to Enzedex Eagle at Rosehill in August.

Owner Nick Moraitis has given the ride to his old friend Jim Cassidy.

Vision And Power races in Moraitis' white, grey and pink colours made famous by champion Might And Power.

Cassidy was on board Might And Power for many of his big wins including the 1997 Caulfield and Melbourne Cups and the 1998 Cox Plate.

Vision And Power has had five previous first-up runs for one second but Pride's stable is reaping success since his move from Randwick to Warwick Farm.

"He's a good old horse, who goes very well fresh and I'm expecting him to run a massive race," Pride said.

"Jim's had success on him before and he's always keen to throw those pink and white colours on."

Vision And Power's last win came with Peter Robl in the saddle at Randwick in June.

One of his rivals is the Gerald Ryan-trained stakes winner Flaming who comes into the race after beating only two runners home in the Festival Stakes (1500m) on December 6.

The seven-year-old not won since beating Bobadah in the Civic Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill in May last year.

"He's been putting himself there but he's just not getting stuck into when it counts," Ryan said.

"We've tried a few different things with him leading up to the race to make him a bit keener and hopefully they work.

"He seems like a happier horse leading up to this race and with older horses, if they are happy they'll go better."

Meanwhile Pride is hoping consistent performer Serious Heat will run a bold race in the Summer Racing Handicap (1100m).

"He comes back better each prep and he looks like he might have improved again, and will be very hard to beat," Pride said.

Serious Heat has won five of his 13 starts.
