A mare once pigeon-holed as a sprinter-miler will be out to confirm the worth of her out-of-town staying form when she returns to city racing at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

Setta Rocks, fresh from winning the Queanbeyan Cup, will be trying to give Tara Laine her first Sydney winner in the appropriately-named Ladies In Racing Magazine Handicap (2400m).

In her first full season of training, Laine goes up against premier trainer Chris Waller and the master Bart Cummings as they saddle up the two favourites against her horse in Wednesday's race.

But on her current form, Laine rates Setta Rocks a solid chance of maintaining her winning ways.

"I thought she was always a fourteen hundred-metre horse because early on I gave her a couple of runs over the mile and she never really ran it," Laine said.

"It was only a bit of luck she got to race over a bit of distance but once she did she hasn't looked back."

Laine is expecting her second child early next year and says Setta Rocks is part of a family training concern.

"My Dad Carl has been riding all of my trackwork since I became pregnant," she said.

Setta Rocks, a daughter of Fastnet Rock, Australia's most sought-after stallion, made the Queanbeyan Cup her own with a 4-1/2-length victory.

And while bush form these days can struggle for relevance in Sydney racing, it might be foolhardy to doubt the strength of the $40,000 race, given Peal Of Bells, the winner of the Cup when it was also held during the autumn this year, has since made it to stakes level with a Newcastle Cup placing to Glencadam Gold.

Setta Rocks' main dangers will be the Waller-trained Coup Acclaim ($2.40) and Blazing Dragon ($3) from Cummings's famed stable.

Coup Acclaim is last-start placegetter at Rosehill while Blazing Dragon led home a field of four in a recent 2200m win at Warwick Farm.
