"My bloke won his maiden at Cairns by seven lengths but he has no early speed and although he rattled home over 1300 metres last week, he'll be better over a longer trip and I am aiming him at the Townsville Guineas during the Winter Carnival in July and August,' Ludwig said.
"I reckon he'll get over a middle distance being out of a Reenact mare and could even be a northern Cups horse next season."
Ludwig has booked teenage female jockey sensation Jasmine Cornish for the Jewel feature after her classy ride last week.
Although it was her Cluden Park debut, she was reminded that she had virtually ridden for Ludwig before, albeit as an unborn in her mother Sheree Drake's womb.
"She really impressed me and I will go as far as to say she could well be another Michelle Payne or Jamie Kah," Ludwig said.
Palencia, the most successful progeny of dual Group 1 winner Palentino, who was trained by Darren Weir, had a short break leading into last week's race and Chillemi used his three-kilogram claiming apprentice Rachel Shred to take advantage of a weight reduction.
She will be replaced by last year's Cluden premiership winner Graham Kliese in the feature.
Yes Dream, also trained on the Tablelands by Michael Lee, has been very impressive in his three wins, although he only scored narrowly from Palencia at his meeting three weeks ago.
The stage is set for a stirring prelude to Cluden Park's richest 2YO feature next month.
