Everybody Rise ready to keep winning for trainer Bruce
Jack Bruce has been pleasantly surprised by the early performances of Everybody Rise, and he's eager for the revitalised gelding to achieve even more.
The brother to Russian Revolution is set to continue his unblemished record since joining Bruce's Deagon stable in Thursday's Barrier Reef Pools Class 4 Handicap at Ipswich.
The Snitzel four-year-old, who was purchased for $1.4 million as a yearling and began his career with Peter Snowden before transferring to Matt Vella after being bought by Blueblood Thoroughbreds for $75,000, has been with Bruce since early this year.
He recorded back-to-back wins on the Sunshine Coast poly track in his first two starts for Bruce, followed by a victory at Thursday's Ipswich track at his most recent outing.
"Sometimes horses have the talent but just need to win one and they can string a couple together," Bruce commented.
"He won a modest maiden fresh up, but has gained confidence from that and has improved at each subsequent start.
"He is a happy horse in a good headspace at the minute and is really finding the line in his races."
Everybody Rise broke his maiden over 1000m on May 1, followed by a win in an 1100m 0-62 contest four weeks later, and then another 0-62 triumph over 1100m at Ipswich on June 25.
He now faces Class 4 company in Thursday's 1100m event, where he is assigned 59kg and must contend with the widest barrier in the field of 11 runners.
"That is certainly the challenge," Bruce said regarding the draw, which Group 1 jockey Taylor Marshall is expected to overcome.
"We got away with it last start, but it gets harder up in grade to burn the candle at both ends. We need to get across comfortably to still be a winning chance."
Bruce's other entrant, Missile One, drew more favourably in barrier seven, however, Bruce would prefer an even closer inside gate and is considering scratching her to compete in a lesser race at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday.
