Expresso Martini, winner of his last three starts, will be back at Forbury Park on August 11, along with Arden’s Concord and Hopes and And Dreams.
The trio had a short break after winning there, along with the two-year-old Eamon Maguire, on July 14 for Westwood trainer Graeme Anderson,
“Eamon Maguire has gone for a longer spell and the other three will back at Forbury Park,’’ said Anderson.
Expresso Martini , who won a c3-6 free-for-all by seven and three quarter lengths is now assessed at C6. The son of Bettor’s Delight – Putting On The Glitz, raced by the Met Eight syndicate, has won five of his nine starts at Forbury Park.
Sarah Kate, twice placed in 10 starts this season for Rangiora owner-trainer Tom Twidle, is a newcomer to the Anderson team.
Titan Banner, part-owned by Anderson, has been back in work a week with Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen in preparation for the New Zealand Cup in November.
Anderson was instrumental in transferring Titan Banner in May after winning nine races with the Art Major gelding.
It was an inspired move with Titan Banner winning the Winter Cup at Addington in 3.59.6 for 3200m and finishing third to Field Marshal and Usain Colt in the Harness Jewels at Cambridge.
Titan Banner, a half brother to the 2005 New Zealand Cup winner Mainland Banner, is assessed at c8.
