Godolphin’s Tamerlane, a gelding by Golden Horn, will aim for his first victory at Caulfield this Saturday in the Group 3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1400m).
Trained by James Cummings, Tamerlane is a dual Listed winner who impressed with a solid fourth-place finish in The Damien Oliver (1400m) on November 2.
“His run a few weeks ago in the Linlithgow was good, beaten by two decent horses, and Another Wil was then very good in the Sir Rupert Clarke,” said Nacim Dilmi, Godolphin’s Melbourne foreman.
“We gave him a nice jumpout at Flemington last week, but we didn’t have to do too much as he does things pretty easy.
“He’s a very big horse. He doesn’t mind a track like Caulfield, and we’ll be quite confident he’ll run a good race Saturday.”
Horse racing bookmakers have Tamerlane marked as an $8 in Kevin Heffernan Stakes betting.
