Caulfield gallop for On Display ahead of Flemington

The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr stable has taken the unusual step of giving On Display an exhibition gallop at Caulfield Heath in preparation for her return run. 

On Display is down to have her first-up outing in the Group 3 Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday. 

Price said it was not unusual to gallop on the Wednesday prior to racing the following Saturday, but the move of taking the mare to a midweek city meeting three days out from her return run was considered different. 

The co-trainer explained On Display was carrying plenty of condition and would benefit greatly from the trip away from Cranbourne. 

"I would gallop, at home, on a Wednesday, no trouble, but she has plenty of condition on her and after that she should be pretty right for Saturday," Price said. 

"She came into us and has been there at Cranbourne the whole time, and there was the opportunity to stimulate her, and adrenalise her, by bringing her here which was fantastic. 

"It just sparks her ahead of Saturday and it was exactly what I wanted, along with a gallop on a beautiful surface." 

On Display will be having her first start on Saturday since running third in the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) at Flemington last spring. 

Major shareholder in On Display, Seamus Mills, said the program for the mare was dependent on how she performs at her second-up outing. 

Plans are to run On Display in the Sunline Stakes (1600m) at Caulfield on March 21 and then head to the Anniversary Vase (1600m) at Caulfield on April11. 

"If she wins the Sunline, she may get weighted out of her next start, the Anniversary Vase at Caulfield, a Listed race against the boys," Mills said. 

"Then the plan is to go back to Adelaide for the race she should have won last year, the Group 2 Queen Of The South Stakes (on April 25). 

"But if she wins the Sunline, then we'll probably have to readjust that program." 

Ben Melham, who partnered On Display in Wednesday's gallop, has the ride on Saturday.
