Tom Dabernig believes Harlem has a few key advantages over his rivals going into the Turnbull Stakes, which should equate to him being a factor in the finish.<\/p>\n

Unlike the majority of the field, who are being aimed at the Caulfield Cup, the Cox Plate or the Melbourne Cup, Dabernig said this was Harlem’s spring grand final.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t gone through the rest of the field but I’d be surprised if there’s another horse who has been set specifically for the Turnbull Stakes,” Dabernig said.<\/p>\n

Dabernig said the reason they set Harlem for the race is his great record over 2000 metres at Flemington.<\/p>\n

Harlem has won two Australian Cups in 2018 and 2019 and finished fourth earlier this year behind stablemate Fifty Stars.<\/p>\n

Another big plus is Harlem’s weight of 54.5kg.<\/p>\n

From his past 24 starts, Harlem has carried 59kg or more on 23 occasions and 58.5kg once.<\/p>\n

“Jamie Mott will ride and he’s worked very hard to get down to that weight so he thinks it’s a worthwhile thing to do,” Dabernig said.<\/p>\n

Dabernig said in a race where most horses like to sit back, he envisaged Harlem working forward and settling in a handy position.<\/p>\n

The trainer has been happy with Harlem’s two runs this time in, which have produced a seventh in the Memsie Stakes and a sixth in the Makybe Diva Stakes.<\/p>\n

“I think he’s going to be a solid each-way chance,” Dabernig said.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Fifty Stars will resume for Dabernig and co-trainer Ben Hayes in the Gilgai Stakes over 1200 metres.<\/p>\n

Fifty Stars hasn’t started since his successive autumn wins in the Blamey Stakes and the Australian Cup.<\/p>\n

“It’s good to have him back at the races and this will stimulate him but he’ll find it too short,” Dabernig said.<\/p>\n

“He’s being set for the Cantala Stakes and the Mackinnon Stakes.”<\/p>
