Top Sydney jockey Nash Rawiller will be chasing his second Railway Stakes crown when he partners Belclare in the West Australian feature on Nov 23.
The in-form mare will, however, need to overcome a wide alley to land her first Australian Group 1 win in the A$1.5 million (S$1.31 million) 1,600m feature at Ascot, and connections believe Rawiller is the perfect man for the job.
Belclare was an 11-time winner in New Zealand, including two at Group 1 level, both coming in the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders' Stakes (1,600m) in 2023 and 2024, when then prepared by Lisa Latta.
Owner-breeder David Woodhouse subsequently offered her at Magic Millions' National Broodmare Sale in May but she failed to meet her A$700,000 reserve price.
She then joined the Warwick Farm stable of Bjorn Baker earlier this spring and since blinkers were added to her gear two starts ago, the seven-year-old daughter of Per Incanto has thrived.
