Adebisi aiming for back-to-back Moore wins

Sunday 2 December 2012, 2:49pm

Different track, same result.

That's the scenario Desleigh Forster believes is achievable for Adebisi who will attempt back-to-back wins in Saturday's Group Three George Moore Stakes at Eagle Farm.

Adebisi won last year's Moore when it was staged at Doomben.

This year it will be run at Eagle Farm, a factor which doesn't concern Forster.

"He goes just as good at Eagle Farm as he does at Doomben," Forster said.

"Some horses have a better record at Doomben than Eagle Farm and vice versa but that doesn't really apply to this horse."

The five-year-old signalled he was back to his best when he carried 59kg to win first-up on a heavy track at Eagle Farm on November 10.

"I think he's going better now than he was when he won last year's George Moore," Forster said.

"This prep he's really matured and developed and he pulled up really well after he won at Eagle Farm so I gave him a jump out over 800m at Doomben last Tuesday just to bring him on a bit more."

In last year's race Adebisi carried only 53kg but Forster expects a hike in weight this year.

"His rating has gone up to 101 so unless a horse comes from interstate with a rating of 103 I'd say he'll be carrying topweight in the race," she said.

Apart from Adebisi, Forster will also start Easy Running in the George Moore after he finished a creditable fourth to Steel Zip in the Keith Noud Handicap (1200m) at Eagle Farm on November 24.

"I'm putting blinkers back on him and we'll be riding him stone cold," Forster said.
