Coach Matthew Dale made a deliberate break in Massira's preparation by the carnival to show a few races outside the season, and he hopes for an immediate result at Randwick on Saturday.

It has been almost two months since the last appearance of the four -year -old, one second in a motorway in Randwick on March 1st, and Dale has recorded a plan to apply this time of the season.
The Tab -Autobahn (1000 m) has been a destination since the last start and Dale said that he was kept in good condition with a ticket jump at home.
“We assumed the motorway races over the carnival, we thought he took care of damp traces, so we refreshed him with this series of highways and benchmark races for him,” said Dale.
“He had a really good preparation, his form lines are great. The shape around him through the Midweeks and the highways was good and it looks for the right race for him.
“There are other highways for him and/or 78 Saturday races. It is the right time of the year when he runs.
“He has to wear a little weight, but it looks really well placed.”
MASEIRA, $ 4.40 with Tab on Thursday, wore 61.5 kg and jumped from the outside of 16 when he was back on March 1st and is now exposed to a cheaper scenario.
With the 2 kg for Braith Nock it will fall 1.5 kg and has pulled better than the middle of the field. So Dale expects that he is not too far away from them because he was last positioned by this wide alley.
“Fresh, I think he'll be a little more,” he said.
“When he won in Kembla, he pulled himself to the field and struck a long way from home. This is a different facility, but it can be closer if necessary.
“He was a good little online buying for the owners and they seem to have a little fun.”
Martini Mumma has returned in the Neville Waters Handicap (1200 m) since the Kosciuszko and Dale says that he see a completely different horse this time.
The gray has received three jumpouts to prepare them for a first interval, which she does not yet have to win from her two previous attempts.
“She was a pretty edged stut foal, everything she shows us is a bit more mature and tries to continue driving, he said.
“We start at 1200 m and I think she can extend to 1400 m. She has a good, gentle structure and I think she will return in good condition.”
While Martini Mumma is likely to roll into the first four or five years, Dale said that the Staffate Acappella SUN will be forced to gain a lead from the outside.
She hunted home Lonhro's queen, who arrives against her again on April 9, and meets the winner with 2.5 kg better in the weights.
“She is exactly what she is, you know what you will get,” said Dale.
“She doesn't win from the curve, but she always carries out a competitive race. Her run in the Midweeks the other day was great.

“From an unpleasant draw, she has to take her medicine and go back, but she goes back anyway and it is about the sections that enable her to get into the race.
“She is in the weights against her own gender and in good shape.”
