Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young are optimistic that their imported stayer Mostly Cloudy can return to winning form in this Saturday’s Group 3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at Flemington, which would secure him an unballoted entry into the Melbourne Cup (3200m).

Although Mostly Cloudy hasn’t won since September last year, his consistent efforts have kept him competitive.

After a solid first-up performance at Caulfield, where he finished fourth behind Young Werther, Busuttin is hopeful for a breakthrough.

“He doesn’t know how to run a bad race, but he doesn’t win that often, which is frustrating,” Busuttin told Racing.com.

“He deserves to win a race, but he’s not the easiest horse to ride. He doesn’t travel well and can end up in tricky spots, but it’s not an overly big field.

“He’ll get luck someday or other, hopefully it’s Saturday and then all the pressure will be off.”
