(Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Ethan Brown is aiming for a second Group 1 victory aboard Mornington Glory when the Gavin Bedggood-trained six-year-old contests the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes (1000m) at Flemington this Saturday. Brown, who has secured six elite-level wins throughout his career, guided Mornington Glory to victory in the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley last September, and believes the six-year-old is in good form ahead of the race. “We know we’re heading into a hot race being a Group 1 first-up,” Brown said. “He’s going as well as ever, and he trialled on Monday, very much an on the bridle trial. I expect him to run really well. “I’m not going there expecting him to win or anything, but he’ll run a really good race. I think he’ll surprise a few people how well he’s going. “I think he’s just a good horse. I don’t think too much worries him, whether it’s a bend or the straight. “The straight will suit him in the sense that there’s probably going to be good speed in the race, and he will be able to tuck in and get a bit of cover and build into it. “I think the straight will suit him fine.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
