(Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) The Patrick and Michelle Payne-trained Alhambra Lad (Proisir) will head to the Group 3 Hobart Cup (2400m) on Sunday following a last-start fourth in the Summer Cup (2200m) at the same track last month. “We thought it was an okay run as he may have been in the wrong part of the track on the inside. It was a good progressive run for the Hobart Cup,” Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) winner Michelle Payne told Racing.com. The seven-year-old gelding was sent off as the $2.40 favourite with horse racing bookmakers in the Hobart Cup last year but could only manage eighth. Payne is hoping for a better performance this time around. “He was a bit disappointing that day, but he did a bit wrong. Hopefully, he can race a bit better,” she said.
