Leading New Zealand trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman have switched their attention from Sydney racing to the upcoming features at home.
Their Sydney carnival runners have all returned home with Zacada's Sydney Cup second the best result.
This weekend, the stable will send a couple of horses to Riccarton as well as targeting the meeting at Pukekohe.
Saint Emilion and Podravina will head south for the Group Three Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) and the Listed NZ Bloodstock Warstep Stakes (2000m) respectively.
The stable will have five runners in feature races at Pukekohe including Mime in the Group Two Easter Handicap (1600m) and Gundown and Marcellina in the Valachi Downs Championship Stakes (2100m), also a Group Two race.
