Tommy Berry hopes a good tip for import Zarir proves spot on when he shoots for another group 1 win on Saturday.
Fresh from a drought-breaking group 1 win, Tommy Berry hopes a tip from leading English hoop Ryan Moore proves to be on the money again when he partners Yulong import Zarir in the Tancred Stakes on Saturday.
“I was talking to James about them both, and he said Ryan Moore actually liked my guy better,” said Berry, who scored his first group 1 win since 2022 when Gringotts claimed the George Ryder Stakes on Saturday at Rosehill. “It’s going to be interesting to see how they get here. And I heard Chris Waller say on his show that the last one that Ryan said he liked was Via Sistina.River Of Stars, which hasn’t won on rain-affected ground, was second in the group 1 Prix de Royallieu in France at her most recent start on September 15. Zarir, which has scored two of his four wins on soft going, was second in the group 2 Prix Foy over 2400m on the same card.
“I think she’s ready to peak now, and softer tracks are only going to enhance her performance,” Berry said. “We’ve all got to beat the star filly , but if the track’s wet and she has an off day, then we’re going to be ready to pounce.” “She makes her own luck, puts herself wherever you want, and I rode her on a soft track when she won at her second start at Scone, and she absolutely swam through it.Berry is also aboard the Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained Katsumi Orochi and Punch Lane , which look to have contrasting hopes if the rain comes.
“Punch Lane is on the other end of the scale. Punch Lane absolutely is a swimmer, so it’s definitely going to enhance its chances, and it’s been trialling up well.”
