The Victoria Derby winning trainer-jockey partnership will be reunited in the Inglis Classic when Hugh Bowman rides the Robbie Laing-trained Boomwaa in the $250,000 race.

Boomwaa is the nominal favourite for Saturday's two-year-old feature at Randwick following his second to Fighting Sun at Rosehill at his first clockwise start.

Bowman, who won his third Victoria Derby in four years when he partnered Polanski, will give Boomwaa a searching hit-out at Rosehill on Tuesday morning.

"Hugh rode him work at Rosehill on Saturday and will give him another work-out tomorrow," Laing said.

"He will gallop with one of Gerald Ryan's and have a good gallop over 600 metres to clean him up.

"I stopped in to see the horse on the way home to Victoria from the Gold Coast sales and he looks great.

"I guess he would have to be favourite although the New Zealand horse has won two from two."

The New Zealand horse is Vinnie Eagle, a Group Three winner of the Eclipse Stakes over 1200 metres at Ellerslie on New Year's day.

She is raced by Central Coast businessman Col Keane and trained by Tony Pike who prepared Sacred Falls to his Group One NZ 2000 Guineas win before the horse joined Chris Waller in Sydney.

Boomwaa is the most experienced youngster among Saturday's nominations. He has had four starts, winning the Group Three Maribyrnong Plate at his third outing during Melbourne Cup week.

"He had four weeks off which is all he could have," Laing said.

"He was a bit rusty when he raced at Rosehill and is much better for that run."

Laing will also run Subiaso at Randwick in a 2000m benchmark 85.

"I had him in for Caulfield on Wednesday and Flemington on Saturday but I'm glad he's in Sydney because they are predicting 44 degrees down here," he said.
