Quality galloper Probabeel will kick off her summer campaign in Melbourne on Saturday when she contests the Group 3 Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.
The four-year-old Savabeel mare travelled to Australia last week in preparation for a three-race assignment culminating in the $5 million All-Star Mile (1600m) at The Valley on March 13.
Trainer Jamie Richards is pleased with how his charge has settled into her new surroundings as she goes about her work before her campaign opener this weekend. She will be nominated for the 1200 (metre) Group 3 this weekend, which is a nice way to kick her off over there, Richards said.
