Superstar galloper Pride Of Jenni (Pride Of Dubai) will contest Saturday’s Listed Anniversary Vase (1600m) at Caulfield.
Owner Tony Ottobre confirmed the decision to Racing.com on Tuesday morning, with connections believing the space between runs would set the three-time Group One winner up perfectly for a tilt at the Gr.1 Doomben Cup (2000m) in Brisbane in four weeks.
Craig Newitt will ride on Saturday with Pride Of Jenni to carry 61kg.
It means Pride Of Jenni will skip the Gr.2 A$500,000 Hollindale Stakes on May 10.
“Jenni will appreciate the extra week between runs, being an older horse with her running style we feel she needs an extra week to recharge her batteries,” Ottobre said of the decision to run at Caulfield.
“It’s all about managing her so she can still be super competitive, the Vase should be a good hit out run for her.”
