The James Cummings-trained Plymouth Road could race twice in three days.
Plymouth Road defied his rivals to lead all the way at Warwick Farm on Wednesday, beating stablemate Most Exalted who finished a long last as a $2.10 chance.
Plymouth Road is an acceptor for the Open Markets & BYMG Handicap at Randwick on Saturday and Cummings is giving serious thought to sending him around against stronger opposition
"He's going to strike another wet track and it's going to take a fit horse to run at Randwick in the heat but we'll assess him first and go from there," Cummings said.
Plymouth Road has been penalised 1.5kg for holding off El Novio in the TAB Rewards Handicap (2400m).
It was a return to form for the OTI Racing-owned stayer who was having his second run for Cummings and was ridden by Glyn Schofield
Cummings said the New Zealand-bred son of Tavistock had improved in trackwork since finishing fourth at his Sydney debut last week.
"We've given him some good, strong staying work at home and he's responded."
Most of the Warwick Farm meeting was run on the heaviest-rated surface after early-morning showers and more rain in between the first two races. -AAP
