News From The Jarvis Yard
Michael Jarvis is keeping his fingers crossed Warm Breeze can plunder some of the huge prize-money on offer in Saturday's £100,000 Tattersalls Millions Auction Stakes at Newmarket.
The daughter of Oasis Dream rewarded odds-on backers with a hugely impressive debut success at Nottingham last month and Jarvis is hoping for further improvement.
The handler said: "We have been aiming Warm Breeze at the race for quite some time now. It's a race with a nice prize over six furlongs and a lot of horses from Tattersalls Book 1 are bred to go a bit further."
He added: "She's getting a 5lb sex allowance as well, which will hopefully help her cause. Our filly is a speedy sort and the manner of her victory at Nottingham wasn't surprising - she had been working well at home and it looks like it was a pretty ordinary race.
"Having said that, you can only beat what is in front of you and she did it well. We also have the option of the other Tattersalls races later in the season. Hopefully she can perform well on Saturday and we can see what her optimum trip is.
"She is certainly not short of pace and it remains to be seen if she has a future over sprint distances or whether we will step her up in distance."
