Freedman targets Oaks

TRAINER Anthony Freedman has a team of horses targeting the Queensland carnival, with Oaks hopeful Cabierro scheduled to be the first to step out.

Cabierro is nominated to make her return from a spell in a 1400m-handicap at the Sunshine Coast on Saturday, while she also holds an entry for a 1300m class one at the Gold Coast. “She’s a talented filly we think a bit of,” Freedman’s racing manager Brad Taylor said.

“She failed in the Wakeful Stakes in the spring but she had a heart fibrillation.”

Freedman has a lightly raced Japanese import A Shin Rook scheduled to run in a barrier trial in Queensland today ahead of his Australian debut.
