Associate was a winner of the Southern Wild Card of the Country Championships at Goulburn back in March and then finished eighth in the Country Championships Final at Randwick behind Asgarda.
He’s had two starts since resuming from a spell and hit the line well when third in the Nowra Cup at his latest start.
Seib rounds out the day with Perigean in the Quickprint Class 3 Handicap (1055m) and Master Of Disguise in the Terminate Pest Control Class 1 Handicap (1200m).
Both gallopers are coming into their events on the back of last-start wins.
Narrandera Cup king after another feature
Closing in on 50 starts, Prince Of Helena can add another feature win in the Ted Ryder Cup (1675m) today. Prince Of Helena has been a consistent performer with nine wins, eight seconds and 12 thirds from 49 starts. The veteran has won the past two editions of the Narrandera Cup earning a spot in the $3 million The Big Dance at Randwick. Trainer Craig Weeding is also a part-owner of the eight-year-old who has earned $415,423. Not a bad return on his yearling purchase price of $4000 and better when you combine it with stablemate Big Day Out (earnings of $280,000).
Ingelse scores another riding treble
For the second time in recent weeks, Dubbo-based apprentice Shayleigh Ingelse has ridden a winning treble. Ingelse achieved the feat on Saturday at Dubbo. Apprenticed to Dubbo trainer Michael Mulholland, Ingelse won on Epic Poem, Wandering Jack and Bylong at Wellington in mid-November and her Dubbo treble came aboard Autumn Song, Platinum Warrior and Charlie Magic. The Michael Mulholland-trained Autumn Song unleashed a strong run from near the back of the field to beat Mrs Bull and Miss Monopoly in a close finish to the opening event.
