Exciting import Jet Away will make his comeback from injury in the spring but the Lindsay Park operation has not yet chosen a date for his return.

Jet Away scored two impressive wins in the autumn of last year and had three spring starts including a solid fourth in the Caulfield Cup.

A tendon injury halted his career after his unplaced effort in the Group One Mackinnon Stakes in November.

Tom Dabernig, who will become David Hayes' training partner at Lindsay Park on August 1, said the seven-year-old remained in light work on the treadmill throughout his recovery phase.

"He's back up in the early stages of galloping," Dabernig said.

"He's done a rehab and at this stage the leg looks great. If you looked at his legs you'd struggle to pick he had an injury if you didn't know he'd had it.

"He'll race in the spring but at this stage it's a little premature to name a race that he'll kick off in."

Jet Away came to Hayes as the winner of six races in England including a 1985m Listed event at Goodwood in May 2012 in which he beat last year's Melbourne Cup winner Fiorente.

Dabernig said the stable had done well to prevent the entire from putting on too much weight during his time away from racing, a factor which will help their bid to get him back to full fitness.

The Hayes stable will steadily increase Jet Away's workload as his first-up outing nears but Dabernig is mindful that the rising eight-year-old could aggravate the injury.

"If tendons are going to go again it's normally under race pressure, or as they get further into their galloping," he said.

"But at this stage they are holding up really well.

"There's always lots of new remedies for tendon injuries but there's never been a perfect one."
