Classy galloper Casual Pass could make his comeback in a star-studded Memsie Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday.

There were 31 nominations for the Group 2 race yesterday but with the rail out so far there will be a number of disappointed trainers in a field restricted to 13 plus four emergencies.

Casual Pass, formerly prepared by Matthew Ellerton, pulled up sore after last year's Aurie's Star and has since been with Peter Morgan, who has had great success getting injury-plagued horses back to the track.

According to Morgan Casual Pass has done enough work to be ready for Saturday's feature assignment and did trial well at Geelong last week.

He is also nominated for a shorter sprint race, which is the preferred option for owner David Moodie.

Casual Pass has battled injury throughout his career but proved he was up to the top level in the spring of 2006, winning the Group 1 Yalumba Stakes, beating Pompeii Ruler, El Segundo and Fields Of Omagh. That trio then trifectaed the Cox Plate.

He failed to return to winning form the following autumn and had only one start last spring – in the Aurie's Star – where he finished seventh and pulled up sore.

The eight-year-old, with more than $1.2 million in prizemoney, has started once in the Memsie, in the 2006 spring, where he finished a long neck second behind El Segundo.

8歲之齡 :llll: :llll: ，閹馬歷程真係 :ooo: :ooo:

仲要前季傷過抖足年半，點同後生秋
