Despite suffering defeat at Flemington last weekend as an odds-on favourite, Berkshire Breeze will still proceed to the Group 3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at the same track on September 14.
The British import, who had won his previous three starts in impressive fashion, was beaten by two and a half lengths by Horrifying in last Saturday’s 2530-metre race.
However, trainer Ciaron Maher confirmed that the Group 3 contest, which offers a ballot exemption to the Melbourne Cup for the winner, remains the goal.
“It was another good run,” Maher told Racing.com.
“The winner went very well and he’s a horse in form, so nothing’s changed, we will continue.
“His target race for this preparation has been the Archer, so he will have a light few days freshen up as his normal routine and we’ll work him down into the Archer.”
