Emerging filly Perfumist has jockey Tyler Schiller expecting she can continue her rapid ascension with a fourth straight victory at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday.
Trainer Bjorn Baker has used a proven formula with the exciting three-year-old, taking her to the bush before steadily taking Perfumist through her grades with plenty of success in recent weeks.
Perfumist can go from a Mudgee Class 1 winner to a three-time city victor when she contests the Racing And Sports Benchmark 78 Handicap (1500m).

Schiller partnered the daughter of El Roca two starts ago when she was a comfortable Canterbury winner before Perfumist impressed again with a resounding win at Royal Randwick last time.
“She has come out of her runs really well,” Schiller said.
“She came out of a Mudgee really strong into Canterbury and then I said to Bjorn, she is probably a touch keen to go up to a mile yet.
“They went to 1400m and she bloused them.
“She is definitely a filly on the up and I think the 1500m should be perfect for her.”
Perfumist meets a competitive assignment on Saturday but remains a $3.20 favourite to continue on winning ways.
Meanwhile, Schiller also believes debutant Giddy Girl can give a sight on debut in the Chandon 2YO Open Handicap (1100m).

Schiller partnered the Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald-trained youngster in her second trial which she won at Warwick Farm earlier this month.
“Giddy Girl trialled really well,” Schiller said.
“She got pulled up at a Hawkesbury trial because she didn’t feel right but she was perfectly fine at Warwick Farm.
“She jumped sharp, travelled really well and gave me a good feel.
“If she can learn from that trial, she is drawn well to get a lovely suck run.”
Giddy Girl is a daughter of Written Tycoon and went under the hammer for $320,000 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
She is a $12 chance to make a winning debut in a race that features Golden Slipper fancy Wodeton ($1.85 favourite).
