Meanwhile, Heathcote concedes Magic Millions Guineas winner Abounding faces a daunting task against a slick field in the Listed Mick Dittman Plate over 1000 metres.
Abounding - a Martin Harley mount – hasn’t appeared since her Magic Millions Guineas victory but has been given a solid grounding for her return after winning a 1000 metre barrier trial at Doomben on April 11.
“She’s going super but she faces a near impossible task to beat Skirt The Law and some handy other horses over 1000 metres,” Heathcote said.
“She’s getting ready for 1200 and 1400 metres and her next run will be the Gold Coast Guineas before the Fred Best and the Stradbroke.
“But, if any of her opposition make a mistake on Saturday she’ll be there to pick them off.”
