Given the strong depth in the three-year-old ranks this season, Tenenbaum has largely operated beneath the radar.

Nevertheless, jockey Chad Schofield would not be surprised to see that status shift, starting with Saturday’s Ming Dynasty Quality (1400m) at Rosehill.

Schofield partnered the Snitzel colt for his solid first-up victory at Canterbury, where he trailed the speed and surged clear in the straight with ease.

While the Ming Dynasty will offer a different level of challenge, Schofield is confident Tenenbaum possesses the aptitude and scope to transition successfully to stakes company.

“He’s obviously a very well bred horse and he’s got good class,” Schofield conveyed. “He is still coming through the grades and he’s untapped, but I think he’s the type who could very easily measure up.”

“It’s a big jump in grade, but there was a lot of merit to his Canterbury win. He had a big weight, and it was very soft. He gives that nice horse feel so let’s hope he can step up. He’s a colt with a great attitude and that’s half the battle.”

Trained by Brad Widdup, Tenenbaum was a $750,000 yearling purchase for stable supporters, Mulberry Racing.

From barrier six, he is drawn to enjoy a favourable run, and as a brother to the 2024 Hong Kong Derby (2000m) winner Cap Ferrat, should appreciate a distance rise to 1400 metres.

Schofield has secured the mount on Cormier for Paul Messara and Leah Gavranich in the Run To The Rose (1200m), filling in for regular rider Aaron Bullock who is unable to manage the colt’s 55kg weight.

An impressive winner of his initial start at Scone, Cormier then recorded consecutive second placings to Tron Bolt, including in the Group 1 J J Atkins (1600m) at Eagle Farm in June.

“I’ve never ridden him before, but I know him as well as I can without riding him,” Schofield said. “He’s a horse with a good deal of quality, he’s first-up and has a light weight. I’m just filling in for Aaron Bullock, but I’m thrilled to get the ride and hopefully I can make it count.”

Cormier will again face Tron Bolt in the Run To The Rose, which has attracted a characteristically strong field headed by Champagne Stakes winner Fireball, Golden Slipper placegetter Music Time and unbeaten blueblood St Gotthard.

All will be aiming to stake their claims for the Group 1 Golden Rose (1400m) on September 26. Check out these Australian betting sites for the latest action.
