Ritchie had planned to bring back the four-year-old next Wednesday, but may lean towards a run this Saturday at Randwick.

“I threw in a nom because there wasn’t too many in it. I will just see how that pans out and if it looks like a decent race for him, he will run Saturday. If not he will go to Warwick Farm,” she said.

“He has come back really good. He had a good trial at Rosehill last Tuesday and I was really happy with that.”

Better Not Blue showed loads of promise last preparation, highlighted by a barnstorming fourth in the Group 3 Gold Coast Guineas. 

Ritchie has more low key plans this time around.

“I haven’t targeted anything big with him this prep. I am just going to poke along and see what happens with him,” she said.

Meanwhile, fellow Kembla trainers Gwenda Markwell and Mick Tubman will have runners at Canterbury on Wednesday.

Tubman has accepted with Numbers in race one where the six-year-old will meet Markwell’s Zaboss in a Benchmark 75 (1900m).

Kembla’s leading trainer will finish the day when Figtree, ridden by Christian Reith, contests the final event on the card from barrier 14.
