(Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Feroce is on track for Guineas redemption, with preparations ramping up this week as the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) runner-up prepares to return to the jump-outs. Trainer Dom Sutton is delighted with how the son of Super Seth has come back from his spring break following his second-place finish behind Private Life in the October Classic, which was followed by a placing in the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on November 2. While there’s been significant interest in the New Zealand-bred gelding for the inaugural $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) at Ellerslie on March 8, Sutton is leaning towards keeping him in Australia. “He’s going to trial on the 17th and he’s probably going to kick off in the Autumn Stakes over seven furlongs,” Sutton said. “We are heavily leaning towards staying here in Australia and going down the Australian Guineas route instead of heading to New Zealand for their slot race. “There are just so many options for him in the autumn. We’ll gauge it as we go and might even put him in something like the All-Star Mile just in case.” The Group 2 Autumn Stakes (1400m) will be held at Caulfield on February 8, with the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) taking place at Flemington three weeks later.
