Racing fans will get an early look at how Group 1 Oaks winners Sofia Rosa and Provocative are shaping up for spring at Flemington on Friday.
The two New Zealanders, who are towards the pointy end of CrownBet's Caulfield Cup market, are down to compete in the second jumpout, which will be over 800m on the inside grass track.
The hitout will be the most serious piece of work for the pair since arriving in Melbourne.
Sofia Rosa, who is prepared by Stephen Marsh, has not started since winning the ATC Australian Oaks at Randwick in April, while the Tony Pike-trained Provocative announced herself to Australian racing fans with a dominant win in the Queensland Oaks in late May.
They are at $26 and $21 respectively in CrownBet's Caulfield Cup market. -racing.com
