After a disappointing end to he’s Autumn Campaign when a late scratching as favourite in the Australian Cup, Lucas Cranach has returned to pre-training with Anthony Freedman at Markdel. All signs are positive post surgery and our expectations are high that he can recapture the form that saw him place in last years Melbourne Cup before blowing away a quality field that included the Caulfield Cup Southern Speed and subsequent Australian Cup,BMW winner Manighar in the St George Stakes at Caulfield.
Connections are rightly excited in what lay ahead with Freedman mapping out a Spring preparation that will culminate in the BMW CoxPlate and the Emirates Melbourne Cup.
