Pride the Ceolwulf warrior to lift against Waller’s superstar

This is not what the pride expected, but it is confident that Ceolwulf will produce his best Saturday.

“They would probably have clashed three times and have only ended up once so far,” Pride said.

“It was not the ideal path, but he had a sufficient race to have it at his peak for the race in which we always wanted to end, which is the main thing.

“You will miss the races, losing those along the way is better than losing your final.

“It is in the race where we wanted to be. He had a great preparation, as I feel as if he had a lot of ks in the legs and on Saturday he is ready to reach the peak.”

The fighting fortunes continued at the draw of Queen’s barrier Elizabeth. Via Sistina, a favorite of $ 1.90 Sportsbet, Drew Gate One. Ceolwulf ($ 15) will start from the external barrier in 15.

“We wasted good doors in the races that couldn’t really win because they were too short for him,” said Pride.

“Finally we have the right race and this is the draw, but look, it looks like a race rather sincerely.

“There will be large open spaces, draw, could actually play in his hands because he likes the gallop hall, and he will surely get a lot of Saturday.”

Ceolwulf should have dominated the latest start of Neville Sellwood postponed, but it was far from brilliant. However, pride took the positive aspects from the narrow victory over a heavy ground.

“He resisted him,” he said. “Increased 500 meters, the race was to be on the backup, but it ended on Tuesday, only a few small combined things that probably don’t make it the ideal task.

“But how good horses do, he found a way to do the job, in a race slowly.

“The horse is perfect and I can’t wait to see it at 2000m in Randwick against these good horses.”

Also in the program, Pride has Sounds of Heaven ($ 91) and winner of Emancipation Stakes Lekvarte ($ 41) in Group 1 Queen of the Turf (1600m).

“Lekvarte is really good at Randwick Mile, so he has another opportunity here, and he is on sale of the president after this, so we will see how it goes. It could be his latest start, depending on who buy it,” he said.

“The sounds of paradise had a nice mint for the trial on Monday and I thought it was really well tried.

“We will be positive for her. We will go on and we will be standing in the first couple. I can see her really well. I am very happy with her.”
