Ciaron Maher is using Saturday’s Listed Testa Rossa Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield as a springboard for Another Wil run in next month’s Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m).
The Group 3-winning five-year-old impressed with a first-up victory in a Benchmark 100 (1400m) race at Caulfield last month and is currently the $3.40 favourite with horse racing bookmakers for the Toorak Handicap on October 12.
“He was a bit fresh and well the other day but was super,” Maher told Racing.com.
“You can see he raced that little bit fresh and made it harder on himself than he needed to.
“It’s a nice stepping stone, hopefully all going well and timing anyway if he runs Saturday in the Toorak.
“I thought handicap-wise that would still suit him, so that’s the plan.”
