Murray Baker is pleased with last start winner Vibrato heading into Saturday's Listed Courtesy Ford Ryder Stakes (1200m) at the Levin Racing Club's race meeting at Otaki.

The two-year-old son of Sacred Falls followed two trial wins and a luckless debut with a classy win over 1230m at Rotorua on June 26, leading from start to finish.

"He hasn't raced for a month but we're happy with him and we think he's probably improved a bit," said Baker, who trains in partnership with Andrew Forsman.

"He had a bit of time off after he won and we've just got him going again. It's a stakes race, so we thought we'd have go."

Vibrato will be ridden by Matthew Cameron and the pair will jump from barrier seven.

"He should go well," Baker said. "He's a genuine horse and he'd shown good trial form before winning at Rotorua."

The final black-type race of the 2018-19 racing season has attracted a field of eleven rising three-year-olds with impressive last start winner London Bound the early favourite, followed by stakes-winning filly Flaunting.

The Baker-Forsman team will also be represented by consistent mare Elle Eye Are at Otaki, in the McMahon Livestock Handicap (1600m).

"She's ready to go, she's always thereabouts and I think she will go quite a good race," Baker said.

The premiership leading stable's only other two runners on Saturday are Rippin and Red Beach, both of which are set to contest the Waikato/BOP Busy Bees (1650m) at Rotorua.

Baker said he was hard-pressed to pick between the two mares.

"They're both in form and I think they should run honestly," he said.
