Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 1 Journalists Share Posted May 1 I Wish I Win (NZ) (Savabeel) will head to Brisbane early next week ahead of his first Group One target over the local carnival. Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman’s star gelding jumped out at Pakenham on Tuesday after finishing third in the Gr.1 T.J. Smith Stakes at Randwick (1200m) last month. “Nice piece of work, he was just having a tick-over (trial), it’s five or six weeks between runs from his last run in Sydney to his next run in Brisbane on the 18th (May) so we just took the opportunity to have a half-mile trial,” Moody said. “He did it all nicely, his action was good, he was good in the wind and he presented very well post-trial, which was the more pleasing thing.” I Wish I Win’s first Queensland target is the Gr.1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m), for which he is favourite with most bookmakers in futures markets. It is then expected the lightly raced five-year-old will press on to contest the Gr.1 Stradbroke (1400m) on June 15. “He’ll do another piece of work here next Tuesday and then he’ll probably get on a plane next Tuesday afternoon and fly up to Brisbane along with his stablemate Chain Of Lightning and, all being well, they’ll both run in the Doomben 10,000,” Moody said.
