VIDDORA will use a Cranbourne trial on Monday as the springboard to potential Winterbottom Stakes history.

If successful in Perth next month, Viddora would join a select band of sprinters to twice win the Group 1 feature.

Since 2000, only Hardrada (2002-3), Ortensia (2009, ’11) and Buffering (2013, ’15) have prevailed twice.

Trainer Lloyd Kennewell said Viddora had recovered well since struggling on unsuitably heavy ground in The Everest on October 13.

“It was bottomless,” Kennewell said. “(The track was) wetter than you could possibly imagine.

“The wheels were spinning. Travelled good until she had to come off the bridle.

“As he (jockey Joe Bowditch) pushed her along, she just said no.”

Kennewell sent Viddora to Merricks Station on the Mornington Peninsula after The Everest and she has bounced back well.

“It’s a beautiful spot. She really enjoys it there.

“She’s had four or five days there, R and R, and she’s come back.

“I’m really happy with her.

“Back to where she was back where she was before (winning) the Moir.

“I’m really happy with her.”

Kennewell will use the 990m trial to have a “nice little blow out.”

“Get the cobwebs out before she gets on the plane on Sunday week,” he said.

“Off to Perth and all is well. Couldn’t be happier. She’s starting to get a few dapples up with the way the weather is turning, which is good.

“So looking forward to getting back there with her.”

Viddora excels on firm going, one of the reasons Kennewell is returning to Perth.

“As long as goes well from now until the race (on December 1), all will be fine,” he said.

“It was great over there last year. You’ve just got to hope everything goes right and, if it does, she should be right in the finish.”
