Jockey James McDonald is warning punters Kiwi mare Entriviere can't be expected to dominate her Australian rivals when she resumes in the A$200,000 Sheraco Stakes at Kembla Grange today.
While McDonald thinks the Matamata mare can win and deserves her favouritism for the Group 2 1200m, he says the standard of competition for those type of races in New South Wales mean they are never easy.
"Group sprint races over here are always tough because so many horses are bred and trained for this sort of racing," says the expat New Zealand jockey.
"I really like this mare. I like her speed and I love the fact she tries so hard.
"I have worked her quite a bit since she got over here and she felt really good on Tuesday and I think she is the one to beat.
