Dual Group 1 winner Tarzino (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}) remains on course for Saturday's G1 Memsie S. despite his intended trial being cancelled due to rain on Monday. Trainer Mick Price told Racing.com the G1 Victoria Derby and G1 Rosehill Guineas winner's primary targets will come later in the season, and thus he doesn't need to be cranked up for the Memsie.
“If we had been able to trial him it would have been good, but it doesn't affect his preparation as such,” Price said. “The Memsie isn't the be-all and end-all for him; it's just a kick off point for him because I don't want to run him first-up in the [G1] Makybe Diva [Sept. 10]. His target is the [G1] Caulfield Cup over 2400 metres in a couple of months' time, so I'm not too worried about it.”
