It’s been a while between wins for Charm Stone, but the mare looks ready to make a statement when she resumes in Saturday’s Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville.

The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained galloper hasn’t been seen since running second in the Magic Millions Cup (RL, 1400m) at the Gold Coast in January.

She’s been kept ticking over with two jump-outs in the lead-up to her first trip to Adelaide.

Now a rising five-year-old, Charm Stone hasn’t won since claiming the Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley in September last year, before finishing fifth in the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m).

“She’s going super,” Price said.

“It’s been a bit of a goal for Shamus (Mills) to run in the Group 1 and I’m expecting she’ll go well.

“She had a knee chip taken out a while after the Golden Rose and had quite a bit of time away from racing, but she’s going good now.”

Price is confident the mare is ready to return to her best in what shapes as a competitive edition of the Robert Sangster.
