Job Done will give away size to most of his rivals but co-trainer Mick Price says the youngster’s motor will take him a long way towards remaining unbeaten at Saturday’s Flemington meeting.

The two-year-old impressed with his easy debut win in a Seymour maiden on June 10 but will tackle the Flemington straight course for the first time in the Next Generations Sprinters Series Final (1200m).

Price, who trains Job Done in partnership with Michael Kent Jr, said the son of Snitzel worked well at Cranbourne on Saturday morning as part of his preparation for his $150,000 target.

“He will turn up and run well at Flemington,” Price said.

“Ben Melham rode him in his gallop and he worked like a horse that needs a horse to follow.

“His first win was good and he’s a small gelding with a big stride.

“He’s got a motor and a good pedigree and I think he’ll run well down the straight.”

Job Done is a half-brother to New Zealand Group 2 winner Contessa Vanessa, who also won a Listed race over 2100m.

Price said he expected Job Done to handle 1200m at Flemington.

“That’s 1200m that race and we’re assuming he has that proper stamina about him,” he said.

Price and Kent Jr will also run emerging filly Knobelas in the $150,000 Silver Bowl Final (1600m) for three-year-olds.

Knobelas was beaten on debut over 1400m at Pakenham on May 8 but has since posted comfortable wins over 1600m at Pakenham and Sandown.

Price said the New Zealand-bred filly also worked well on Saturday morning despite saving her best for race day.

“She’s not a great trackworker,” Price said.

“She’s a better racehorse and she’s had tie-forward surgery, which is probably why we hear her blow a bit more than normal but it doesn’t worry her.

“She’s gone from a maiden to win at Sandown and should continue to improve.”
