Let Her Rip will remain in Melbourne following her luckless run at Caulfield with a switch in venue a key to turning her Australian fortunes around.

The Cambridge filly was unplaced in last Saturday's Gr.2 Angus Armanasco Stakes under Opie Bosson, with the pair frustrated for clear room in the straight.

"He said she felt explosive and was really ready to charge at them," trainer Shaune Ritchie said.

"She got galloped on and not surprisingly as she was in tight quarters, but things are looking okay and there's a race for her at Flemington on the 12th."

The next assignment on Let her Rip's programme is the Gr.2 Kewney Stakes over 1400 metres.

"She is best ridden back so the big track will suit her much better than Caulfield," Ritchie said.

"She has got an atrocious record second-up, but you could treat the run the other day as a barrier trial."

Meanwhile, on the home front Ritchie is expecting the honest Cantina to go close in the NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race at Te Rapa on Thursday.

The five-year-old has two Premier placings from her last three starts, including a solid last-start effort at New Plymouth.

"It looks like her race," he said. "There's not a lot of depth to it and she will run the 2100 metres right out." – NZ Racing Desk.
