Cummings' Stars In Quiet Spring Start
- Friday, 30 July 2010 06:15
Bart Cummings-trained stars So You Think and Faint Perfume warmed up for their major spring assignments with quiet jumpouts at Flemington on Friday.
Reigning Cox Plate winner So You Think was not pushed out over 800m behind Thousand Guineas winner Irish Lights.
VRC Oaks and Vinery Stud Stakes winner Faint Perfume finished second in her jumpout.
"They were just having quiet trials," Cummings' Melbourne stable foreman Reg Fleming said.
Faint Perfume is $17 favourite with Eskander's Betstar for both the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups while So You Think is $10 favourite for the Cox Plate, just shading the John Wallace-trained Shoot Out who resumes in Saturday's Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.
Other Cummings-trained horses to trial were Group One-winning sprinter Swick and Elvstroem rising four-year-old mare Finn Class who is a maiden after six starts but has been placed over 1800m on the Kensington circuit at Randwick.
