Group One placed mare Southbank will resume this weekend in the Let's Elope Stakes

The Anthony and Sam Freedman stable will saddle up two runners on the under card races at Flemington this weekend day mare Southbank in the Let’s Elope Stakes and three-year-old Supreme Idea in the Cap D’Antibes Stakes.

Freedman believed Southbank was back in the form she was in last spring when she finished third in the Thousand Guineas and he said if the predicted rain came, Supreme Idea would have a great chance.

The stable also has Victoria Derby winner Warning resuming in the Makybe Diva Stakes as he begins a campaign aimed at racing’s most prestigious prize, the Melbourne Cup.
