麥維凱將策騎確也是出戰考菲爾德杯
Kerrin McEvoy is expected to be confirmed as the rider for Godolphin stayer Kirklees in the Caulfield Cup on Saturday week.
Godolphin's number one jockey Frankie Dettori was keen to come to Melbourne for the ride but will be required for stable runners at the Champion's Day meeting at Newmarket, the final feature meeting of the English flat racing season.
McEvoy, who won last year's Caulfield Cup on All The Good for Godolphin, will ride Kirklees in his final lead-up gallop at Sandown on Monday.
There was a change of plans for Kirklees and stablemate Crime Scene at Sandown this morning.
Yesterday travelling foreman Tommy Strang said after their work that they would have a quiet day off the track but instead they went for a jog over 1200m to keep them ticking over.
Charlie Henson, travelling foreman for Luca Cumani, said the highly-rated Cima De Triomphe was at his best on “fast going' which he hasn't been able to get at Sandown since his arrival.
He said the Sandown course proper, which has varied from soft to slow after recent rain, was fine for track work but Cima De Triomphe would prefer much firmer conditions in the Caulfield Cup.
Cima De Triomphe and stablemate Basaltico worked separately in two 1000 metres canters this morning.
