Lindsay Park could already be in party mode by the time Here To Shock hunts his biggest ever win in the $1.5 million Alan Brown Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens.

Trainers Ben, Will and JD Hayes will go in search of a Group 1 double in the hour before Here To Shock lines up with stablemates Mr Brightside and Evaporate both contesting majors at Caulfield.

Stable champion Mr Brightside is a red hot $1.60 favourite in the Group 1 $1 million Might And Power (2000m) while Evaporate ($12) takes on the Group 1 $3 million Caulfield Guineas (1600m).

Here To Shock will lead their Sydney assault as he attempts to continue his excellent run of form in the Alan Brown.

The smart son of Shocking put his 10th career success on the board last start with a determined victory in the Group 3 Cameron Handicap (1400m) at Newcastle and is ready to replicate the effort.

‘“He is in super consistent form,” JD Hayes said.

“When you see him in the yard, he just looks unbelievable healthy and is just a horse in form.

“I am sure he is going to put up a good performance again.”

Here To Shock returned to the Hayes base at Euroa after his victory in the Cameron and benefited greatly from the experience.

His Cameron win also had added significance as it gave him eligibility for the $3 million Big Dance.

“He came back to the farm with it being three weeks between runs and he has really done nicely so he will probably stay up there between this race and the Big Dance,” Hayes said.

“He is racing for a fair bit of prizemoney in the next couple of starts but he’s freshened up really well.”

Star jockey Nash Rawiller will continue his partnership with Here To Shock ($8).

Stablemate Stoli Bolli ($7) was an acceptor in the $500,ooo Tapp-Craig (1400m) but the stable have the option of waiting another week for the Listed Gothic Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield.
