Sacred Elixir
Darryl Sherer
The blinkers may come off Sacred Elixir in his final lead-up to the Gr.1 VRC Derby.
The Tony Pike-trained three-year-old raced keenly when unplaced in Saturday's Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas, prompting the possible change for the Gr.2 AAMI Vase at Moonee Valley on Saturday week.
"A couple of things went against him," jockey Damien Lane said. "He travelled a touch keen and they sprinted really hard on the bend and he got a bit unbalanced but all in all, he's probably looking for a touch further now."
