Adam Hyeronimus has been in the saddle for both Rosina Kojonup’s wins where she has used her speed to lead and then simply been too slick for rivals, running the final 600m in 32.5 seconds at Hawkesbury and 33.2 secs at Warwick Farm.

“She has drawn soft in barrier two again and the big things she has in her favour is her tactical speed,” Baker said.

‘‘Adam is very good at getting that right and I can see her doing the same again. She will make her own luck, but it is big step up in class, so we have to respect her rivals.”

Rosina Kojonup could be the first part of a feature double for Baker to end what has been a frustrating year. The Warwick Farm has had it share of viruses but is starting to fire again.
Irithea will be given her chance at group 3 level in the Belle Of The Turf after a last-start Rosehill win.

“She is in the best form of her career and I don’t think the mile will be a problem for her,” Baker said. “She already has a couple of black type placings from the Mona Lisa and Tibbie Plate at the beginning of the spring and this is a good opportunity for her to add to that.

“She has drawn wide but she should be able to get across and make play, but there are some mares in the race, like Aloisia that will be coming hard at the end.”

Baker is hoping that Redouble can regain winning form for the first time in a year to earn a Magic Millions Cup place at Randwick on Saturday.

“He has had the best of luck in past couple of it seems like a race where he will be well suited,’’ Baker said. ‘‘We have got Hugh Bowman, which is a big bonus in a race he has to win.’’
