It’s been three years since Comfort Me last celebrated race day success, but trainer Rhys Radford is embracing the challenge of putting an end to that winning drought in Sunday’s Group 3 Northam Stakes (1300m) at Northam.

Trainer Mitchell Pateman was expecting Almighty Class to deliver a whole lot more than what he dished up in last month’s $5 million The Quokka (1200m) at Ascot.

Rhys Radford never hides his admiration for Comfort Me, an outside chance of causing a big upset on his resumption in the Group 3 Roma Cup (1100m) at Ascot on Saturday.

Mojo Rhythm has been heavily supported on the eve of Saturday’s Listed Tabtouch Bunbury Stakes (1400m) and trainer Mitchell Pateman is confident the son of boom sire Playing God can secure his second feature success in four months.

The path to upcoming feature juvenile races starts in earnest for trainer Simon Miller with Golden Vale resuming at Ascot on Saturday.
