Jamie Melham could be poised to reunite with I Wish I Win after riding the Group 1-winning six-year-old at the Pakenham jump-outs in recent weeks.

The Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained gelding has secured a pair of jump-out victories, with the latest coming on Tuesday morning.

This would mark the first time Melham has ridden the horse on race day since their easy win in a 1400-metre contest at Caulfield back in August 2022.

With I Wish I Win’s regular rider, Luke Nolen, currently sidelined due to injury, Melham could be in prime position to take the ride in the $750,000 Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on February 22.

“I’m definitely not going to knock him back,” she said.

“Compared to when I rode him at Caulfield, when I didn’t think he was going to do what he has, he’s really stepped up and turned into an absolute superstar.

“All systems seem positive with him.”

I Wish I Win is currently a $4.60 winning chance with horse racing betting sites for the Futurity Stakes.
