Betwitchery is set to chase a third consecutive victory when she resumes racing at Flemington.

The mare, prepared by the training partnership of Leon and Troy Corstens and Will Larkin, is scheduled to begin her latest campaign in the VRC Member Brendan Sobozynski Plate (1200m) this Saturday.

Betwitchery, a five-time winner from eighteen starts and a proven performer first-up, concluded her previous preparation with a win over 1400m at Pakenham, followed by a triumph in the VOBIS Gold Distaff (1400m) at Caulfield on March 14.

After a short break, the daughter of Blue Point underwent a jump-out in April, after which it was decided to grant the mare an extended spell.

In preparation for her Saturday comeback, Betwitchery has completed two jump-outs at Flemington, finishing third on both occasions on June 26 and July 10.

Larkin conveyed the stable’s contentment with the mare’s progress, noting this will be her debut run down the Flemington straight.

“She’s going really well at home,” Larkin explained. “Her jump-outs have been good and she’s probably going her best now as she has ever.”

“She’s a mare that has always been progressing and had maturity to come, and I think that has come now as she has always been a bit fierce in her work, but she seems to be getting the hang of that now.”

“The straight for the first time is a question mark and as a Flemington trainer you would love to be able to give them a look, but unfortunately, you can’t.”

“But what she has is one of those actions that would normally suit the straight.”

“She’s a big striding mare, so she should get room, which she loves to get and I’m sure she’ll run very well.”

Apprentice jockey Holly Durnan will take the reins for Betwitchery on Saturday, and her 3kg claim means the mare will carry 53.5kg.
