Dashing. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) After four consistent runs this season without clinching victory, the Aaron Purcell-trained Dashing is set to target a breakthrough performance in Thursday’s Listed Lord Stakes (1600m) at Caulfield Heath. The five-year-old gelding has been knocking on the door with strong placings, finishing third in the Listed Cranbourne Cup (1600m) and second in the Werribee Cup (1600m) in his last two starts. However, Purcell also has the option of sending Dashing to the $300,000 Coastal Classic (1700m) at Geelong ten days later. “The plan is to accept for Thursday with Craig Newitt to ride,” Purcell explained. “I wouldn’t imagine it to be a super big field, with a couple of them nominated having gone around at Pakenham. “The weights are a bit strange, with Welwal carrying 60 kilos and the rest at the bottom with 54. If he (Welwal) doesn’t run, the rest will go up.” Reflecting on Dashing’s recent runs, Purcell noted: “Globe ran up to his best and was too good on the day at Cranbourne. “At Werribee, we drew a bit wide and had to work a bit early, which left us vulnerable late for Riot And Rose to run over the top of us. “He’s right there and just needs to draw a gate and get a bit of luck in running.” Dashing’s versatility and recent form ensure he remains a strong contender, whether at Caulfield Heath or Geelong.

Multiple Grade I-placed Quietside (Malibu Moon) will be targeted to make her sophomore debut in the Jan. 25 Martha Washington Stakes at Oaklawn Park, trainer John Ortiz confirmed Sunday. The Shortleaf Stable homebred, tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' following her 6 1/4-length debut win at Saratoga in August, was second behind expected 2-year-old filly champion Immersive (Nyquist) in the GI Spinaway Stakes and was third behind that foe while making her two-turn debut in the GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes. She was most recently seen finishing second in the GII Golden Rod Stakes. “Quietside is doing fantastic,” Ortiz said. “She came back out of [the Golden Rod] in great shape. Looking a little bit more tight and fit. She's really developing into her 3-year-old body. So, we're excited about it.” Quietside worked four furlongs in :48.60 (8/132) at Oaklawn Park Saturday. The Martha Washington will offer 42 total points (20-10-6-4-2) to the top five finishers toward starting eligibility for the GI Kentucky Oaks. Quietside, based on her finishes in the Alcibiades and Golden Rod, has already collected eight points.
