Salsamor (NZ) (Tavistock) will continue his path to the ATC Australian Derby (2400m) via a start in Saturday’s Gr.3 Sky High Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill.
The Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained three-year-old will head to Sydney to take on the older horses, Busuttin saying it was a nice fit heading towards the Derby at Randwick on April 7.
"It's not a race that jumps out for three-year-olds and without being disrespectful to the tough older horses, a few of them have seen better days,” Busuttin said.
"It's $350,000, 2000 metres and three weeks before the Derby.
Salsamor has met with support for the Sky High Stakes and sits on the fifth line of betting at $9.50.
