Father and son Pat and Wayne Webster will chase their first feature race success as a training partnership when Parfumier lines up in the Group Two Villiers Stakes at Randwick.

The pair has worked closely for many years but it wasn't until the beginning of the current season when new regulations were passed that they were able to be recognised as an official training team.

While Pat Webster has enjoyed success over many years with the likes of top sprinter At Sea and more recently stakeswinner Kakakakatie and 2007 Queensland Oaks placegetter Rose Of Sharon, a Villiers victory by the Gerry Harvey-owned Parfumier would give Wayne his maiden stakes success.

"He (Wayne) loves it and it would mean a terrible lot to him," Webster said.

"I'd be happy for everyone, for Wayne, for the staff, it would be good for the partnership.

"It's good getting any winner whether it's in a maiden at Kembla Grange or a Group race.

"It would be great for old Puff and for Gerry too."

Puff is Webster's nickname for Parfumier who at seven is racing in the best form of his career.

A half-brother to Golden Slipper winner Polar Success, Parfumier will line up in his second Villiers after finishing ninth to Something Anything 12 months ago.

However, the Websters have given him a slightly different build-up this time around.

Last year Parfumier was runner-up to Voice Commander in the Goulburn Cup and had almost a month between that effort and the Villiers.

This time he posted a dominant 2-1/4 length win at Goulburn, beating subsequent Canberra Cup winner Macknuckle, then had his final lead-up in the Festival Stakes at Rosehill two weeks ago when he finished second to Rabbuka.

"He ran great last year, he just had no luck whatsoever," Webster said.

"(Jockey) Larry Cassidy came back and said he gave him a sore back. It wasn't his fault, he just had no luck.

"I haven't changed anything this year except that last year he had three or four weeks in between the Goulburn Cup and the Villiers, whereas this year I've gone a fortnight, a fortnight, a fortnight and into the race.

"The winner the other day (Rabbuka) is a good horse. He got a soft run in the lead and he is a very hard horse to get past, even when you can get up on terms with him.

"There weren't a lot of horses making ground that day and Rabbuka is a particularly hard horse to make ground on."

Tim Clark will ride Parfumier who meets Rabbuka 1.5kg better at the weights on Saturday and Webster is hoping it is enough to turn the tables.

"I'm never confident going into a Group Two race, or any race really. It's all mapped out and what will be will be," he said.

"But I've got a horse who has been in good form and is really happy within himself at the moment."
