Superstar Pride Of Jenni is set to jumpout this week, preferably at Cranbourne on Monday should the grass track be available.

Southside Racing has moved the bulk of scheduled jumpouts to the synthetic track, due to wet and wild weather, bar potentially two 800m heats on turf for stakes horses.

The final call, weather and track dependent, could be left to Monday morning.

Pride Of Jenni, a rampaging three-time Group 1 and All-Star Mile winner, must get moving this week with the Memsie Stakes, a likely first-up target, on August 31.

The Australian and Victorian Racehorse of the Year-contender has pleased trainer Ciaron Maher, assistant Jack Turnbull and strapper/track rider Sammy Waters.

Fallback options on turf will be considered for Pride Of Jenni should the Cranbourne jumpout on grass not eventuate.

“The plan, in a perfect world, would be jumpout Monday,” Turnbull said.

“We haven’t been on the grass, because of the weather for a week, so the ground would be decent, it’s just a matter of if the weather stays away.”

Pride Of Jenni has returned a stronger, more seasoned, version of herself, much to the excitement of the stable and owners Tony and Lynn Ottobre.

“She looks as good as I’ve seen her, for this time of year, it’s 3C, howling wind and rain, we all look a bit ordinary, but as soon as the days get longer and the sun pokes through they drop and shift their coats, especially the mares,” Turnbull said.

“She may have strengthened again, therefore got the ability to improve... she’s going to be more seasoned, she had a solid preparation and campaign at the highest level and once horses are accommodated to that they come back and expect a similar thing, that’s the biggest and most positive thing I look forward to, she’s had that experience.”

Pride Of Jenni is a pre-nominations favourite with TAB for a host of spring carnival Group 1s including the King Charles III Stakes in Sydney and Cox Plate at The Valley.
