(Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Pakenham-based trainer Phillip Stokes was pleased not to see Berkshire Breeze nominated for Saturday’s Flemington Cup (2800m), as he prepares Taramansour for the 2800-metre event. The seven-year-old son of Dansili finished second behind Berkshire Breeze in the Banjo Paterson Series Final (2600m) on July 6, trailing the Ciaron Maher-trained European import by 4.8 lengths. “The horse is going really well and he’s been knocking on the door. He’s holding together well, and we were happy with his work on Saturday morning,” said Stokes. “He’ll be fine at the trip. That horse (Berkshire Breeze) looked pretty good, but I’d say he’ll be very well-suited next Saturday.” Daniel Stackhouse, who rode Taramansour in the Banjo Paterson Series Final, is set to take the ride again on Saturday at Flemington.
