The Chris Waller trained ‘Tromso’ will carry blinkers for the first time in an attempt to have him poised to strike at Rosehill on Saturday.The son of 'Lohnro' was a fast closing second to 'Atomic Force' at Warwick Farm last start, and adding blinkers will certainly sharpen the gelding up.
The four year old's owner, Warren Taylor, has been spending the summer months back in his homeland of New Zealand but will be on track to watch his exasperating galloper perform.
“Because his usual pattern is to race in the back half of the field and sprint home, he usually needs luck in the straight. But tomorrow he should race handier as the blinkers will fire him up a bit”.
Glyn Schofield will take the ride for the first time, and after combining with Waller for a double at Randwick on Wednesday, the pair look to be in good form.
If Schofield can guide Tromso to victory on Saturday, it will extend Waller’s "world record" Rosehill winning streak.
Waller has trained at least one winner at the past 24 Saturday meetings on his home track beginning with ‘Danleigh’ winning the George Ryder Stakes victory almost a year ago.
Although Waller's other runners command respect, he believes he will have to wait until Tromso's race, the Listed Maurice McCarten Stakes, to clinch the win to keep the aforementioned streak intact.
"I think we will have to wait until the last race", Waller said.
"I believe Tromso is our best chance on the day".
Tromso is on the fourth line of betting for his assignment with multiple stakes-winner 'Swift Alliance' heading the market.
Tromso has been an honest performer for Taylor and Waller, with his record standing at four wins and six seconds from 15 starts and prizemoney of nearly $300,000.
