Co-trainer Peter Moody has confirmed that stable star I Wish I Win is set to head to Brisbane early next week in preparation for his northern campaign, kicking off with the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (1200m) on May 18.

The five-year-old, a Group 1 winner, recently completed a jumpout at Pakenham, much to the satisfaction of Moody and fellow co-trainer Katherine Coleman.

In an interview with Racing.com, Moody stated, “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 continued, “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.”

Regarding the upcoming plans, Moody added, “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.”

I Wish I Win is a +200 favourite in futures markets for the Doomben 10,000 with online bookmakers.
