Karaka Million winner Xiong Feng will be back in action on Saturday at Ellerslie when he tackles the Gr.1 Diamond Stakes (1200m).
Xiong Feng is unbeaten in three career starts and co-trainer Stephen McKee, who prepares the son of Iffraaj with Eddie Chippendale, is confident the smart two-year-old will be hard to topple despite seven weeks between runs.
"He's had a fair gap between races but that hasn't worried him in the past," McKee said.
"I think he's ready to run well again.
"Obviously there's a whole lot of newcomers coming through at this time of the year and it looks like the field has a lot of depth on Saturday."
