Comeback jockey Jason Waddell is hot on his upcoming Group One prospects with the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained Camino Rocoso.
He has been booked to ride the progressive son of Shocking in this weekend's Gr.2 Retina Specialists Avondale Guineas and then the Gr.1 Vodafone New Zealand Derby.
"The Derby is worth a million dollars and Camino Rocoso is still on the way up. I'm pretty excited about riding him on Saturday," Waddell said.
"He's still a bit fresh and will improve with the race, but he's some horse. He looks great and is a big, strong horse with a great attitude.
"He's only had three runs this campaign and they have been well spaced."
