Co-trainer Tom Dabernig is looking to a return Flemington and a good barrier to bring about a change of fortune for Rising Romance (NZ) (Ekraar).
The 2014 ATC Australian Oaks winner and Caulfield Cup runner-up will be one of three runners for the Lindsay Park team in the Australian Cup on Saturday.
To be ridden by Craig Williams, Rising Romance is the highest rated Lindsay Park runner in early market at $11.
Godolphin galloper Bow Creek is the favourite at $3.50.
"She keeps drawing wide and we have to keep going back," Dabernig said.
"She's got a very good record at Flemington and with those two runs underneath her and the 2000 metres she should be ready to do something.
"If we happened to get a little bit of give in the ground it would be ideal.
"She goes on any surface but I reckon if there's a little bit of sting out of it, she'll fly."
Rising Romance is yet to win for Dabernig and David Hayes but her two best performances for the stable have been at Flemington when running second in the Makybe Diva Stakes and again in the Mackinnon Stakes last spring.-aapnewswire
