(Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Cranbourne-based trainer Enver Jusufovic is optimistic that Pinstriped can improve on last year’s performance in the PB Lawrence Stakes (1400m) this Saturday. The six-year-old gelding finished second in the race 12 months ago behind weight-for-age star Mr Brightside and has completed three jump-outs in preparation for his return to the track. “It’s a Group 2, I know it’s a long spring, but you certainly have them fit enough to be very hard to beat,” Jusufovic told Racing.com. “I weighed him the other day, he’s 597 kilograms, which is great for him. “He’s a six-year-old now and he’s matured and really filled out. It’s been almost a faultless prep, with a foot abscess, that’s about it, other than that, he’s coping really well and he’s nice and forward for a first-up tilt. “He’ll improve on what he does, but he ran second in this race last year, and I’m of the opinion he’s a lot stronger this time in.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
