Elizabeth Rose is ready to put her best foot forward in Saturday’s Hornby Club Founders Cup (2000m), according to co-trainer Anna Furlong. The five-year-old Contributer mare steps up to her favoured middle distance in the Riccarton staying feature, having overcome hoof problems that thwarted her summer preparation.

Look no further than unbeaten three-year-old filly Millwood Nike. But Australasian pacing lacks a dominant open…
