Even Henry Dwyer concedes he doubted whether Property<\/strong> would rediscover the form that last season had him rated one of the country’s top juveniles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Caulfield trainer is still not entirely convinced, but his confidence in the gelding, who resumes at Bendigo this Saturday, rose after a recent slick 800-metre Cranbourne trial success.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The son of StarCraft who was sold through Amarina Farm’s 2016 Inglis Classic Sale, cruised home by two-and-a-half lengths in a time of 48.04 seconds, which was a much improved effort on his fifth placing in a trial over the same course two weeks earlier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“His first trial was average at Cranbourne, we were a little bit concerned about where he was at, but he’s a big gross sort of horse and probably needed it physically and probably needs a bit of stirring up too to get him up and on the bit racing,” Dwyer said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The three-year-old resumes in a quality $80,000 Avenue Press Handicap (1100m) on the Golden Mile program at Bendigo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It will be his first start since finishing sixth over 1000m at Flemington on Melbourne Cup Day, with his only other start during spring a fourth placing in the Group 2 Caulfield Sprint (1000m).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dwyer inherited Property, who won last year’s Gr.3 Blue Diamond Prelude for males before finishing fifth in the Diamond, from Robert Smerdon and said Saturday’s race looks a suitable reintroduction to racing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s going to need it fitness-wise, but he is a pretty high-class sprinter and you’d like to think he’s got better wins in store for him, if we can keep him sound, than an open handicap at Bendigo on a Saturday, albeit a standalone meeting,” Dwyer said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“He will improve with the run, but he should run a credible race and we might find something for him in Adelaide after that.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Property will jump from the outside barrier in Saturday’s field of 11, with Ben Allen to take the ride.\u00a0-racing.com<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
