Trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr, Angland aims to maintain his flawless record as he enters a 1400-metre handicap at Caulfield this Saturday.
The three-year-old, sired by Ace High, secured victories at Pakenham over 1200 metres on April 4, dominating by an impressive 7.5 lengths, followed by another triumph over the same course and distance two weeks later.
Transitioning to the 1400-metre distance for the upcoming event doesn’t faze Price, who remarked, “We’re happy with him, but he’s a bit of a big, sleepy bear.”
Price continued, “It’s difficult in trackwork to get him to go away from another horse, even though in his maiden win he was out there by himself looking good.”
Reflecting on Angland’s potential, Price added, “I think the 1400 metres will suit him ideally at Caulfield, and he’s nice and bright and fresh, and he should run well.”
