James Cummings is confident that Traffic Warden, Godolphin’s hopeful for the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield this Saturday, is ready to deliver his best performance yet.

“We deliberately brought him down to Melbourne last year to tackle a two-year-old handicap back in trip to 1000 metres second-up and that was after chasing home the very impressive Storm Boy at Rosehill,” Cummings explained to Racing.com.

“He’s already had that valuable Caulfield experience, and second-up he looks well suited.”

Traffic Warden debuted with a second-place finish to Storm Boy at Rosehill, followed by a victory at Caulfield.

In his latest outing, he secured third place behind Prost and Fearless in the Group 3 Canonbury Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on February 3.

“I watched him gallop (Saturday) morning in Sydney and he’s still getting it right,” Cummings explained.

“That’s why I feel like we haven’t seen the best of him yet. He’s on the improve and that’s a positive quality going into the race.”

Traffic Warden is marked as a +2000 winning hope with top horse racing bookmakers in the Blue Diamond Stakes.
