Peter Snowden is set to run Queen Of Dragons in Saturday’s Group 3 Summoned Stakes (1600m) at Caulfield, with hopes that the four-year-old mare can build on her recent fourth-place finish in the $350,000 Inglis Bracelet (1600m) on November 7.
The daughter of Pierro showcased her ability earlier in the year by winning the Group 3 Kembla Grange Classic (1600m) in March.
After a slow start to her preparation with three below-par performances, Queen Of Dragons showed improvement with a strong effort in the Inglis Bracelet.
“Her run was enormous in the Inglis race,” Snowden told Racing.com.
“I wanted to see that. Now I’ve seen it, I think she’ll hold that form now and continue on.
“She has taken a little while to come to hand this preparation.”
Snowden left the mare in Melbourne following her last run and has been encouraged by her progress.
“Her work has been really good. She worked very well on Tuesday morning, so I think she’s on track to run well on Saturday,” he added.
Queen of Dragons is currently a $16 chance with BlondeBet for the Summoned Stakes on Saturday.
