South Australia’s Kuroyanagi targets a home-state black-type win, with trainer Will Clarken dreaming of spring features in Melbourne and Sydney.
The Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) placegetter returned quietly with a 600-metre jump-out at Murray Bridge, pleasing both Clarken and jockey Ben Price.
Clarken eyes the Listed Lightning Stakes (1050m) at Morphettville for her comeback, aiming for a stakes win after Group 1 and Group 2 placings.
“All being well, we’ll trial her at Balaklava in seven days and then a gallop on Good ground, aiming for the Lightning,” Clarken told Racing.com.
“It’ll hinge on her first-up run, but Melbourne and Sydney races are options. It was a great year for juveniles, so we’ll navigate carefully.
“Our focus is on securing black-type and building momentum.”
