She is a powerful individual.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe has obviously got bigger fish to fry later on in the spring, in a month or so, but it\u2019ll be really interesting to see where she ends up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019d be nice [to ride her in the Epsom]. She\u2019s rated 105. If she wins on the weekend, I\u2019m not sure what weight she gets in an Epsom, but hopefully you win on her and then you get a chance to ride her again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Autumn Glow is a $1.55 favourite with Sportsbet for the Theo Marks, where she has drawn barrier six.<\/p>\n<p>McEvoy is aboard another last-start winner, Skyhook, in the group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m). The Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou-trained colt shaded Grand Prairie, another ride for McEvoy on Saturday, first up in the listed Rosebud (1100m) but faces a tougher test.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s always been a nice colt, and who\u2019s to say he doesn\u2019t enjoy going out a bit further in trip,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know we\u2019re only over 1200 on the weekend, but the Golden Rose [1400m] might be right up his alley. He\u2019s got to obviously meet the cream of the crop in the next couple of starts, but we\u2019ll see where he\u2019s at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kerrin McEvoy takes Skyhook (right) to victory in the listed Rosebud at Rosehill on August 16.

He is $7.50 from gate 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a nice big horse, and he worked well on Tuesday,\u201d McEvoy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s drawn out a little bit, but last start he obviously went for a tight gap and was bumped around, so he might just appreciate a bit of space when it gets to the business end of the race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Loading<\/p>\n<p>He rides Ameena ($9), last year\u2019s Silver Shadow Stakes winner, for Anthony and Sam Freedman in the group 2 Sheraco Stakes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s first up, but she\u2019s had a bit of time to get ready because she was scratched there a few weeks ago,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully the track stays on the better side of heavy. She worked well on Tuesday, she\u2019s nice and bright, and she\u2019s had a trial since she got scratched.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosehill was a heavy 10 on Thursday, but clear skies are forecast for Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cShe\u2019s got a massive stride, and she quickens and continues to quicken, and she\u2019s got a good head&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129321,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-129320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
