Hierarchal is nominated to run in the Listed Dulcify Quality Handicap (1600m) on Saturday as trainer Anthony Cummings builds his preparation towards the Group 1 Victoria Derby (2500m) on October 31.

The improving stayer in the making also has nominations in for the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) at Randwick in 10 days time.

Edward Cummings said all options were still on the table.

‘‘The stable has done stranger things than back horses up five days later but he has also got nominations for the Spring Champion Stakes and the Derby down in Melbourne,’’ he said.

‘‘Given that he is second up today and there is a bit over a month to go before the Derby, we would be reasonably confident with going to a race like Spring Champion or something similar then to the Derby with a horse that is clearly on an upward spiral.

‘‘The horse will dictate [if he runs on Saturday]. 

‘‘It is an unlikely scenario but is a scenario nonetheless. 

‘‘He has done very well today and certainly gives us a lot to think about.’’

Hierarchal has had just two career starts but looks destined to play a role in the Spring.

The son of High Chaparral ran a modest eighth at Canterbury over 1550m on debut before showing vast improvement down in grade at Kembla Grange.

Tye Angland got going down the centre of the track to edge to victory over Our Uncle Archie and Rock On Up in the Superstar Cars Benchmark 60 Handicap (1600m).

‘‘We needed every inch of the long straight here to get the win but we knew that coming here,’’ Edward Cummings said.

‘‘That is why the race panned out for him.’’

‘‘We are pretty happy with the horse. 

‘‘He is well bred and is from a good family. He has improved remarkably from one start to the next.

‘‘I suppose if he does the same thing he will be even more impressive next start.’’

Cummings raced Hierarchal in the race six so the colt wouldn’t clash with two stablemates in the next event.

The more fancied of the other duo, Ritzy, ran favourite in the final race on the card but wandered over the last 100m to fall to second behind Doc Holliday.

The filly is also nominated for the Spring Champion and the Group 1 Crown Oaks (2500m) later this preparation.

David Payne’s Doc Holliday is another poised to target the three-year-old staying races in the Spring with a nomination for the Derby.

The gelding’s win was the second of the day for Payne and jockey Kerrin McEvoy, who combined in race five with Tramotane.

“She seems to really enjoy Kembla. She has had three starts here for two wins and a third,” Stable representative Mark Whiteman told Sky Racing Network.

“It is good to see that she keeps it up.”
