The powerful Bjorn Baker Stable will target the Wellington Riches on Sunday. A number of leading opportunities may contest the 200,000 dollar -Wellington boat and the 100,000 US dollar Wellington Cup.
Baker drove into the ridge of a wave of winners this year and will have two leading competitors in the Wellington Solden Memorial Club Wellington Boot (1100 m) in the form of an invincible phantom that is to be driven by Dylan Gibbons and Alabama Charm, the Winona in the saddle.

“They are two talented two-year-olds who are well placed in the Wellington boots,” said Baker.
“Invincible Phantom won his two exams before he made his debut on the Kensington route in Randwick and he ran well when he took fourth place, not a length.
“If he can occur to this effort, he should stop a lot of it.”
Alabama Charm is a foal that had three starts, and Baker has no doubt that she has the opportunity to win the Wellington boat.
“We started her in the debut in the Gimcrack Stakes and she was along the route and took a break immediately afterwards,” said Baker.
“She had two exams that returned to her return to the race, and she came back in good shape with a third in Newcastle and then in Gosford.
“If it can maintain this type of shape, it should also be in the finish.”
Baker had two runners to take part in the Grand Hotel & Bottle Shop Wellington Cup (1700 m), whereby the event brought with it a great deal of dance.
Don Pedro, who took fourth place on Wednesday on the Kensington route in Randwick, is booked for the trip, while Cinque Torri did not controvers the Muswellbrook Cup on Friday.
“Don Pedro drove with a few wins and then a few quarters in the city in great form,” said Baker.
“It would have been great to run it better the other day, but its shape is consistent and it looks hard to keep out here.”
