Training partners David Brideoake and Matt Jenkins will be looking to continue their recent run of success with horses carrying the Prestige moniker.
Prestige Ole will be aiming to make it three straight victories when he lines up in the Listed Anzac Day Stakes (1400m) at Flemington on Friday.
Prestige Forever, Prestige Ole and Prestige Snitzel have all won for the Brideoake and Jenkins stable in the metropolitan area over the past five weeks with Friday’s runner chasing a first Stakes win.
Prestige Ole registered his maiden win at Ballarat on March 7 before stepping up to 1400m to claim a narrow win at Flemington on March 29.
It will be four weeks between runs for Prestige Ole on Friday, but Brideoake said the two-year-old had kept on improving.
“He worked on Saturday morning over 1000 metres on the course proper and I think he’s continued to progress,” Brideoake said.
“His recovery was fabulous, and my feeling is pretty good with him, I think we’ll go okay.
“He’s only got to make a little step to be pretty competitive.
“I love horses that keep improving, bit by bit, and he’s one of those.”
Brideoake is already planning spring campaigns for Prestige Forever and Prestige Snitzel and hopes Prestige Ole will join them.
Prestige Forever is spelling after contesting the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Randwick during The Championships, while Prestige Forever is also heading for a break after winning at Mornington last Saturday.
Brideoake sees Prestige Ole stepping out further in distance as he ages.
“He’ll get a mile in the spring and he’s just getting bigger and stronger,” Brideoake said.
“He’s actually thrived with the training.
“At one stage I thought he might have to go out for a spell, but he’s gone the other way.
“I’ve stepped it up and he’s come up to match it.”
Ben Allen, who partnered Prestige Ole to success at Flemington last time out, will again ride the colt on Saturday.
