The comeback of Oasis Bloom continues in Saturday's Let's Elope Stakes at Flemington with the Group Two winner targeted at a Caulfield Cup start.
The five-year-old mare spent 41 weeks on the sidelines after suffering a bone chip in the Group One Myer Classic last November where she ran a brave fourth.
Her first race back was in the Group Three Cockram Stakes (1200m) on August 17 at Caulfield where she finished seventh behind Octavia.
Co-trainer Peter Morgan thought it was great effort.
"It was a good run - she wasn't beaten by far," he said.
"She raced a bit fresh early and shouldn't have been that close to them on the turn because she was never going to sprint with them," Morgan said.
"On Saturday I'm expecting a bold showing and I think she will be amongst it."
Last year Oasis Bloom went on to win the Group Two Stocks Stakes after contesting the Let's Elope (1400m) but Morgan expects to take a different route this time in an effort to qualify for the Caulfield Cup (2400m).
"We'll see what happens on Saturday, whether we go to the Stocks or head in a different direction," he said.
"I wouldn't mind getting her in the Caulfield Cup if I could. She has run over 1700 (metres) and has always shown she could run a mile and a half."
Morgan also has Lucky Penny in the Let's Elope and her main mission this campaign will be the Myer Classic.
