Weight the factor for Adebisi in Sydney

Monday 21 July 2014, 5:56pm

Queensland sprinter Adebisi's return to winning form could mean a trip to Sydney with trainer Desleigh Forster weighing up weekend options.

Adebisi won an open handicap at Doomben on July 12 to post his first victory since the Group Three Rubiton Stakes at Caulfield in February last year.

Forster has entered him in a 1200m sprint at Doomben on Saturday but is leaning towards a trip to Randwick for the July Stakes (1150m) on the Kensington track.

"The handicappers haven't given him a rating yet but I'm assuming it would be high so I would have to look at the weights," Forster said on Monday.

"At the moment I'm favouring Sydney but we'll wait and see."

With eight entries in the July Sprint, nominations have been extended until Tuesday morning.

The meeting will also feature two races for two-year-olds, one over 1150m, the other over 1550m.

The last Saturday meeting of the season is also the last chance for many three-year-olds to earn a BOBS bonus, something Chris Waller is aware of with the premier trainer keen for Mamwaazel to pick up the prize in the 1400m benchmark 75.

The filly has run close thirds at her past two starts in similar races and Waller is keen for her to end the season on a winning note.

"The bonus is an added incentive for owners and I'd like to see her win it," he said.

"Rory Hutchings will ride her again and takes two kilos off her handicap. He is also on You'll Never."

New Zealand's leading apprentice, Hutchings is criss-crossing the Tasman to ride for Waller on Saturdays.

"I'm very impressed with him," Waller said.

"He studies the form and knows what he is doing."

The consistent You'll Never finished second to subsequent dual stakes winner Generalife on June 14 and has won his past two starts in similar grade to Saturday's benchmark 85 over 1400 metres.

"It's tried and true form and he is going very well," Waller said.
