A star-studded field awaits Kiwi raider Probabeel in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday, where she will clash with the likes of Behemoth, Arcadia Queen, Ole Kirk and last-start Group 1 winner Streets Of Avalon.
The Jamie Richards-trained mare was victorious first-up in the Group 3 Bellmaine Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield earlier this month but Richards is aware it will be a major step up on Saturday.
Like a number of her key rivals, Probabeel will be using the Futurity as a stepping stone to next month's All-Star Mile (1600m) which carries A$5 million in prizemoney, a whopping 10 times the worth of tomorrow's A$500,000 Group 1.
A stable fond of following successful patterns, Probabeel took out the Group 1 Epsom Handicap (1600m) in her third start in the spring and Richards said they are trying to follow a similar formula this time.
"We are just trying to replicate what we were able to achieve in the spring — third-up into a nice mile race, and hopefully we can do the job again. It will be a big thrill if we could," he told Racing.com.
