Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 28, 2021 Journalists Share Posted April 28, 2021 Trainers Steven Ramsay and Julia Ritchie will head to Te Rapa on Saturday with a couple of Group contenders. Siracusa (NZ) (Sebring) has been in good form of late, with the stakes winner finishing runner-up in the Gr.1 Japan Trophy (1600m) at Tauranga last month before running fifth in the Gr.1 NZ Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) at Te Rapa. She will return to the Hamilton track on Saturday where she will jump from barrier eight in the Gr.2 Travis Stakes (2000m). It will be her first test over 2000m but her trainers believe she will thrive over the distance. “Every time she races she is always strong through the line in a mile, so I think the 2000m will really suit her,” Ramsay said. Earlier on the card stablemate Side By Side (NZ) (Star Witness) will be gunning for a hat-trick of wins in the Gr.3 Inglis Sales Cambridge Breeders’ Stakes (1200m). “She has won her last two so she is entitled to have a chance in it,” Ramsay said. “It is a good field and she has drawn 13, which is probably not going to be ideal. She is a filly who has got to be covered up and if she is covered up she can attack the line strongly. “It’s good to have two horses in black-type races on the weekend.” The post Group tests for Ramsay-Ritchie duo appeared first on BOAY Racing News.
