Julius Sandhu may have been hoping to saddle-up Lofty Star in last Saturday’s Australian Guineas but his trainer is hoping Wednesday’s $50,000 Thoroughbred Club Handicap (1600m) at Ladbrokes Park Lakeside is a suitable Plan B.
Lofty Star was only emergency in last Saturday’s Group 1 at Flemington but failed to gain a start.
“He was cherry ripe and spot on to go last Saturday if he had have got a run,” Sandhu expressed.
“He would have presented looking a million dollars and that will again be the case on Wednesday.
“We went in with our eyes open knowing the risk he might not get a start in a Group 1 so we can’t be too disappointed.”
