The stable's decision to press on with another campaign rather than head to the breeding barn was vindicated on Saturday when Lani Girl sprinted to a strong victory in the City Of Wollongong RSL Sub-Branch Gallipoli Cup (1600m) at Kembla Grange. 

The encouraging display had Luke Price eyeing off the Archer Racecourse’s feature Cup on May 20 next month.

"It looks like a good option for her," he said.

"We will probably give her another run in town before looking to head that way.

"It looks like the sort of race which will suit her down to the ground."

Lani Girl has become a specialist miler late in her career. The seven-year-old has never finished outside the placings over the distance at Kembla Grange and continued that form last weekend.

Jockey Scott Pollard surged home down in the straight to help  Lani Girl chalk up a seventh career victory from 42 starts. 

"It's her favourite track and distance so we went in with a bit of confidence," Price said.

"During the week she put in work that was as good as she has ever done.

"She started over the odds, but it was a good win in the end."

The Prices had a successful day out at Kembla Grange, with Cuban Royale (race one) also tasting success for the stable.

The stable will travel to Sydney for the Anzac Day meeting at Royal Randwick.

Apprentice Blaike McDougall will ride Curata Princess in the Battle of Amiens Handicap (1600m).

The four-year-old mare is coming off a last start victory at Hawkesbury. 

"She is in good form and has no weight on her back. We are expecting to run well," Price said.

Meanwhile, the Kembla Grange barrier trials scheduled for Wednesday, May 9 have been rescheduled to Wednesday, May 23 due to track repairs.

Racing will still take place at the Illawarra Turf Club on Thursday afternoon, with an eight race card.
