$1.07 million Newmarket Handicap at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia, but her trainer, Peter Moody, will be after his third consecutive win in the race with King’s Rose.
Moody won the 2011 Newmarket with Black Caviar, the 10th win of her 19-race victory career. She is expected to make her next start in April, in advance of a trip to Royal Ascot in June.
Royal Ascot could be in the plans for King’s Rose if she runs well on Saturday and in April.
Led by Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner Regally Ready, and a stakes winner formerly trained by Nick Zito, Fly Down, there are strong American influences on Saturday’s program of seven stakes at Meydan racecourse in Dubai.
The program, worth $1.775 million, features prep races for the seven-figure stakes on the Dubai World Cup card on March 31.
Regally Ready, trained by Steve Asmussen, will start in the $175,000 Meydan Sprint over five furlongs on turf, a prep for the $1 million Al Quoz Sprint on March 31.
