Symon Wilde is daring to dream with Tralee Rose this spring.
The Warrnambool trainer has nominated the daughter of Tavistock for the Caulfield (2400m) and Melbourne Cups (3200m), and while he admits they are lofty targets, he doesn't want to die wondering with the mare he part-owns.
"We are going to try and tailor a programme to get towards the Melbourne Cup and if we come up short there are plenty of other options for her," Wilde told SENtrack.
Tralee Rose takes a strong formline into spring, having won five of her 11 starts, and placing in three others.
Her career highlights came earlier this year when she won the Listed Bagot Handicap (2800m) at Flemington on New Year's Day and the Group3 Lord Reims Stakes (2600m) at Morphettville a month later.
