A transformed Amarula is ready to double his winning tally at Ruakaka this weekend.
The Thorn Park juvenile successfully returned from a break last time out on the Whangarei course and he hasn't missed a beat ahead of his return tomorrow for the Donovan's Trade Zone 1200.
"He was one of our smallest yearlings when we bought him and now he's one of our biggest colts," said Jacob McKay, who trains the 2-year-old with his father, Peter.
"He's obviously well-related, being a half-brother to Little Wonder and out of a half-sister to Puccini and Sir Slick so it would be nice to get some more black type with him."
Amarula weighed in twice during his short summer campaign before he overcame a wide run to beat Sheradream when resuming last month.
