Inz'n'out fit for stakes test at Rosehill

Monday 2 February 2015, 4:59pm

Inz'n'out might not have the proven class of some of his Eskimo Prince rivals but his trainer believes his fitness levels can give him the edge he needs.

Gerald Ryan, who is also a part-owner of the colt, admits he is throwing him in deep end in the Group Three sprint at Rosehill on Saturday.

The 10 entries are headed by Group One placegetters Scissor Kick and Delectation.

"Inz'n'out is very honest and very consistent," Ryan said.

"I don't know if he has the class of these horses but he has fitness on his side."

The colt also has James McDonald on his side to replace Brenton Avdulla whose momentum has been stopped by two suspensions.

Avdulla has made his way to No.6 on the Sydney premiership list but Ryan says his most recent ride on Inz'n'out when he ran second at Canterbury on Australia Day was not among his best.

"I was a bit disappointed in the ride," he said. "He took off too soon and got run down.

"But Brenton has been riding really well and it's a shame he has got this suspension."

Inz'n'out has had just seven starts for two wins, four seconds and a third.

The Paul Messara-trained Scissor Kick is the highest rated three-year-old in the Eskimo Prince (1200m) on 96 with the Chris Waller-trained Delectation on 90.

Scissor Kick, who ran a close second to Hallowed Crown in the Group One Golden Rose, ended his spring with a midfield finish in the Coolmore Stud Stakes won by Brazen Beau from his stablemate Delectation.

The Ryan-trained Red Excitement, a last-start winner of the Listed Manifold Stakes at Flemington, has been entered for a 1500m race on the Rosehill program but will be saved for another trip to Melbourne a week later.

"I think we will stick to the original plan which is to go to the Group Three Carlyon Cup on Saturday week," Ryan said.

There were 14 nominations taken for the Group Two Breeders' Classic (1200m) at Rosehill headed by dual Group One runner-up Catkins from the Waller stable while 15 entries have been received for the sales-restricted Inglis Classic.
