The 4-year-old Maurice gelding Mazu was a gallant third in The TAB Everest this month, and co-trainer Peter Snowden has confirmed the horse will relish the 1300 metres of this Saturday’s $3 million Nature Strip S. at Rosehill.
“The last 200 metres of his races are getting to be the best part of him,” Snowden said. “We’re going to back his ability to front up again and put in a run like he did the other day, and it’ll put him pretty close.”
Mazu is now a winner of seven of his 14 races, with three additional placings. He has won close to $3.7 million and, tied equally with Lost And Running (NZ) (Per Incanto {USA}), he co-leads the $6 million Sportbets Sydney Sprint Series.
