Matthew Cameron is hoping to continue his successful association with Meritable (Snitzel) on Saturday when he partners the three-year-old colt in the Gr.2 Dundeel at Arrowfield Stud Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m).
Cameron rode the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained son of Snitzel to a last-start victory at the Cambridge last week and was impressed with the effort.
“He is a super little horse,” Cameron told The Form. “It was a tough win last start on the synthetic. It was a nice little field and I think it will be a bit of a form race.
“He is a colt and only does what he has to, so the blinkers will come on for Saturday. He is a horse that is probably going to keep on improving so I am very excited to be sitting on him again.”
Meritable races in the colours of the China Horse Club, and Cameron said the colt had some similarities to multiple Group One winner Madison County (NZ) (Pins) who raced in the same ownership interests from the Baker-Forsman stable.
