Sacred Elixir
Bruno Cannatelli
With the benefit of a first-up fourth in the Listed Karaka Mile, Sacred Elixir is expected to be more competitive on his return to Ellerslie this weekend.
"He will be a lot more forward on Saturday," the Cambridge trainer said. "He's going to improve again with another run and the draws will play a part, but he shouldn't be far away."
The Gr.2 Retina Specialists Avondale Guineas will complete Sacred Elixir's Gr.1 Vodafone NZ Derby preparation.
He is currently the $5 favourite for the Ellerslie classic ahead of Savile Row and Camino Rocoso, both $6 chances.
