Self Assured looks set to take his road less travelled to a place he knows very well in the NZ$100,000 Dawson Harford Messenger at Alexandra Park tonight.
The glamour pacer has been backed off the board to win tonight’s Group 1 and cap a remarkable month in which he has already won the inaugural running of The Race at Cambridge then finished a booming third to stablemate Spankem in the Taylor Mile last Friday.
In both those races he started from barrier eight over the sprint trips whereas tonight he gets the perfect barrier two over the 2700m mobile, which could well guarantee him an eventual run on the marker pegs, a position he has rarely been in his career, on his way to the winner’s circle, a place he visits often.
