Knockyasoxoff has a further opportunity to confirm his promise as a stayer at Wingatui tomorrow.
Knockyasoxoff did not begin racing until a late 4yr-old in April. The Stark South gelding, trained at Washdyke by Esther Black, won a 2200m maiden at Oamaru on June 30 and two starts later he was successful over 2100m at Ashburton. Jay Misbah, who rode Knockyasoxoff at Ashburton, has retained the mount in a rating 75 2200m tomorrow.
Misbah is also aboard Miss Millbrook in a rating 85 1600m. He rode the mare to a clear-cut win over 1400m at Wingatui last Saturday.
Coat of Arms and Sartorial are the subject of a disputed riding engagement in the Canterbury Guineas Trial at Riccarton today.
Chris Johnson has been declared for both horses.
• So You Think and Sarafina share favouritism at 7-2 for the Prix de l'Arc De Triomphe (2400m) at Longchamp tomorrow. Workforce, winner of the race last year, is at 7-1.
