Stephen Marsh has an overflow of talent in his stable's two-year-old ranks for the rest of this season and then to roll out in next term's age group features.
While his hold on the exciting Redoute's Choice colt Ardrossan is temporary, the recent Avondale trials showed the Cambridge trainer doesn't lack substitute firepower.
Ardrossan was an outstanding debut winner for Marsh at Pukekohe and after he runs in the Hamilton Vets Equine Stakes at Te Rapa on May 6 he will be joining Mick Price's Caulfield stable. "That was always the plan right from the start and I'm sure he'll make his mark in Melbourne," he said.
Marsh has produced a number of recent trial winners and placegetters, all with rich pedigrees to further boost confidence in their future prospects.
Among them is an un-named daughter of Pierro and the Cox Plate winner Dane Ripper and Raposa Rapida, a brother to the multiple stakes winner Volpe Veloce.
