Wicked Temptation in timely racing return

Friday 28 February 2014, 12:17pm

Toowoomba two-year-old Wicked Temptation is on course to give her sire Wicked Style a boost at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Wicked Temptation resumes in the Breakfast Creek Hotel Handicap (1000m) as she attempts to give Wicked Style his first city winner.

Oaklands Stud, on the Darling Downs, stands American Grade One winner Wicked Style who will be represented with six lots at the Magic Millions March sales.

Stud master Neville Stewart part-owns two-year-old Wicked Temptation who was spelled after twice being placed behind the unbeaten Setfire To Therain late last year.

Wicked Style won the Grade One Keeneland Breeders' Futurity and Wicked Temptation's trainer Mark Webb believes the filly will be at her best at 1200m or 1400m.

"I think you will find that with the entire breed," Webb said.

"But she hasn't had a trial and I would be hopeful she would be a good each-way chance on Saturday.

"The Setfire To Therain form has been strong so we will be looking to her to improve," Webb said.

Favourite for Saturday's race is the consistent I Am Boss whose trainer Tony Sears ended a frustrating run of city minor placings when roughie Warp Nine ($31) won at Eagle Farm on Wednesday.

Sears had had 10 minor city placings since the beginning of the year.
