Emerging young trainer James Healy is hopeful of notching up his second metropolitan win when he heads to Eagle Farm on Wednesday with two starters.
The 28-year-old has been in the winner’s stall 12 times from 119 starters for a strike rate of 10.1 per cent since taking out his trainers’ licence three years ago.
He trained his maiden city winner when Critical Thinker won on the Sunshine Coast Polytrack in July, 2022, when the meeting was transferred from a rain-soaked Doomben.
Healy has been patient building a team of 11 horses in work at the Sunshine Coast and accepted with Deferential in the Benchmark 70 Handicap and Class 1 Plate while Fearless Thinking will start in the Class 2 Plate on Wednesday.
