Jockey Craig Williams is looking forward to being reunited with Property<\/strong> when he makes his racing return in the Listed Bel Esprit Stakes at Caulfield.<\/p>\n

Williams partnered Property, a graduate of Amarina Farm’s Inglis Classic draft, during his successful two-year-old campaign and rode the gelding in two runs as a spring three-year-old.<\/p>\n

With a change of stable came a jockey change, although Williams did ride Property in a barrier trial at Cranbourne last month.<\/p>\n

Property was prepared by Robert Smerdon until he handed in his trainers’ licence ahead of the upcoming Aquanita inquiry.<\/p>\n

The gelding is now with fellow Caulfield trainer Henry Dwyer who has also been utilising his beach property at St Leonards, near Geelong, to prepare Property.<\/p>\n

Williams won the colts divisions of the Blue Diamond Preview and Prelude on Property in 2017 before deciding to ride Catchy in the Blue Diamond.<\/p>\n

With Property owned in Hong Kong, the ride eventually went to Hong Kong-based Joao Moreira, while Hugh Bowman was successful aboard the gelding in Sydney during last year’s autumn carnival.<\/p>\n

Property last raced when sixth behind Prezado at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day.<\/p>\n

Williams has received glowing reports on how Property is progressing this campaign and is looking forward to the ride on Saturday with the gelding the second-elect on race eve at $4.60 behind Sprightly Lass ($3.70).<\/p>\n

“He’s drawn well (2) and the stable is very happy with his progression,” Williams said.<\/p>\n

“Mark Zahra trialled him the other day, behind Nature Strip, and Mark was really happy with his trial.<\/p>\n

“Mark said he’ll give me a really nice ride on Saturday and the draw makes it look like he’ll get every favour.<\/p>\n

“He’s on the minimum weight and it will be a good guide to where he’s going.”<\/p>\n

Williams said there was a question mark over Property at the start of his preparation but he had since improved.<\/p>\n

“I trialled him at Cranbourne a while ago and it seems he’s come on quite a bit since then,” Williams said.\u00a0-AAP<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
