Visinari and Holbien set up a cracking tempo early as they took off to lead the race early but it was Visinari who was good enough to hold off the swoopers late under the urgings of Jamie Kah. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained gelding was the odds on favourite in the race, jumping at $1.50 with some online bookmakers. The unlucky run in the race that really could have caused a boil over with most punters was the Godolphin-trained Character, who was held up all the way down the straight before getting out late to rip home for fourth. 2022 Paris Lane Stakes Replay “I don’t think I’ve ever worked him hard to win first-up so I thought I’ll just keep him happy and sound.” Mick Price replied when he was asked if he was happy to get this win first-up. “That must be the way to train him properly, you know, this is a new preparation for him because he is gonna have to race on solid, good ground. “He goes to Moonee Valley at the mile and then hopefully he ends up here (Flemington) in the $3 million race on the last day of the carnival.” “Yeah it was a great win. He’s obviously not screwed down, he was probably tiring late, which he was entitled too.” Jamie Kah explained post-race when asked how Visinari felt when compared to her ride on him last preparation at Sandown. “They have put the nose-band on him now which makes my job a lot easier now, he’s not fighting with me the whole way. Tough win first-up though. “He’ll improve dramatically off that I think. But all he can do is win, he did that and he done it well.” If connections opt with the quick back-up, Visinari is a $34 chance in the Toorak Handicap next Saturday with some online betting sites.
