MORE WINS AHEAD FOR OPOHO DREAMING

A positive ride and a tweak in training saw the best of Opoho Dreaming at Kyneton today.

Although drawn awkwardly Jordan Childs was able to position Opoho Dreaming close to the speed and then allow the mare to stride on around the home turn, quickening to the lead and then running out the comfortable two-length winner of the benchmark 58 Handicap over 1479m.

It had been over a month since her previous start but that was the tweak Mike Moroney employed.

“There was the option to step her up in trip after her last start but we decided to stay at the shorter distance, keep her fresh and it’s worked out well,” Moroney said.

“She’s a Tavistock and only lightly-raced but she’s got ability and we just need to work with her to get the best out of her.

“It was a drop in class today but we were looking to give her a confidence boost and she will need to step up now but it’s a nice problem to have.”
