Group 2 winner Pinstriped is set to have one more trial before aiming to improve on his runner-up finish in last year’s Group 2 PB Lawrence Stakes (1400m).
Trainer Enver Jusofovic is confident that last season’s Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) winner is in peak condition after a standout performance in a recent Cranbourne jump-out.
“He’s progressing really well, he’s in a good frame of mind and his body’s good at the moment,” Jusofovic told Racing.com.
“He came back into work weighing 610 kilograms, which is massive – he’s finally filled out.
“He’s had one interruption, with a foot abscess that lingered for a week and a half. But I brought him back nice and early, and his appetite’s great.
“He’s had two jump-outs, he’ll have another one next Monday, and then two weeks into the PB Lawrence.”
