Euston Road, a new addition to Patrick Ryan's stable, scored an impressive first-up victory in a 1200-metre race for the Warrnambool trainer at Ballarat on March 8.
“Euston Road has only been with us for a few weeks,” Ryan said.
“She won well at Ballarat but I'm not sure how she will perform on the quick back-up from that win.”
The daughter of Time Thief has won one and ran second on the other occasion from her two starts down the straight.
“She showed a lot of ability as a two-year-old so I suggested to the owners that she gets trained in Melbourne,” he said. “We've spend a lot of individual time on her since she's been back here and she seems to have thrived on that sort of preparation.
“She's got a good record down the straight but my main worry is if she will back-up from Ballarat.”
