The 4yr-old is now trained at North Taieri by Steven Prince.
"I have had him since August and he has had a good preparation," Prince said yesterday.
Ric O'Shea won a 1400m maiden at Wingatui on Melbourne Cup day 12 months ago when trained by Peter and Dawn Williams at Riccarton.
The O'Reilly-Fellowship gelding owned by Andy Denham, of Palmerston, had two further starts for an eighth at Riccarton and a fourth in the Guineas Prelude at Wingatui. He was then spelled.
Thistle, a winner at Wingatui on Melbourne Cup day two years ago, will be another nominee from the Prince stable for the meeting on Tuesday. The 10yr-old has been placed in two of his three starts in a fresh campaign.
Prince is viewing the listed $50,000 Canterbury Breeders' Stakes (1400m) at Riccarton on November 9 as the next start for Chaparella. She had her second win in as many starts in a fresh campaign when successful at Wyndham last Friday.
"I will nominate her for the Breeders' Stakes and see how strong the field is," Prince said.
The Prince-trained Bokkie Bokkie is in a bad way from injuries sustained at Wyndham. She was a late scratching after injuring a leg at the barrier.
"She needed to be sedated for treatment but the veterinarian put the needle in an artery instead of a vein and the sedative went straight to her brain," Prince said.
"She was thrashing about on the ground and further veterinary advice had to be sought. She has 12 stitches in a knee and her other knee is a mess. She has a lot of lacerations."
Bellonet, winner of two races from 17 starts from the Williams stable, is now trained at Wingatui by Steven Anderton. The Hussonet mare has not raced since April.
