Tom Melbourne, who remains in contention for the $5 million All-Star Mile, will contest the Blamey Stakes this Saturday.
The OTI-owned galloper is under consideration for one of three remaining wildcards into the world’s richest mile race.
With Happy Clapper confirmed as one of the starters, Tom Melbourne principal owner Terry Henderson is optimistic the enigmatic galloper can win the Blamey and secure a wildcard.
Tom Melbourne ended a losing streak of almost three years with victory at Listed level in Sydney last month.
The Victoria Racing Club will monitor weather forecasts this week, with a predicted high of 38C for Saturday’s feature meeting.
If the conditions are likely to fall into the extreme range, it’s likely the meeting will start earlier than usual.
