Lord Snow has been a work in progress and he's now ready to get back into action after a lengthy break.
The son of Postponed will make his first appearance for 10 months when he steps out in the Elm Street Development 1400 at Avondale today.
"He's ready to goagain and he's been taken along quietly - he's a very big horse so he's needed some time," said Moira Murdoch, who trains the Postponed gelding with her daughter Kieran.
Lord Snow was a debut second on the course last year before he broke his maiden next time out at Te Rapa and another second followed before he was turned out.
"She's trialled up nicely and she's quite a light type of mare so we don't need to do too much with her."
Sacred Siren has won twice from seven appearances and the O'Reilly mare, a daughter of the NZ St Leger runner-up Striptease, will be having her first start since December.
A bold first-up showing at Te Rapa tomorrow is expected from Sacred Rebel.
The Sepoy youngster goes into the Visions 1200 off the back of an 850m trial success at Taupo last month.
"He won his trial nicely and he's a really good type," trainer Tony Pike said. "He's still a bit new, but on raw ability he should go close."
