Tatt's Tiara option for Jamaican Rain - Nine Wide World of Sports - Horse racing
The Richard Laming-trained five-year-old didn&apos;t let favourite backers down in Saturday&apos;s Goodlife Essendon Handicap (1500m), sitting outside the leader before taking over rounding the home turn.
"She&apos;s got above average ability and it&apos;s good to see her win," Laming said.
"We&apos;ll just see how she pulls up. Hopefully if the tracks suit her in Brisbane she&apos;ll go up there.
"There&apos;s a couple of races for her and if it&apos;s rain-affected she&apos;ll be right in them."
Jamaican Rain&apos;s second victory from as many races this campaign took her overall record to five wins from 10 starts and Laming said the Group One Tattersall&apos;s Tiara for fillies and mares at Doomben this month was on the radar.
"It is, especially if it&apos;s wet," he said.
"She&apos;s really likes the wet and I think against that grade on a wet track she&apos;s probably got a good chance, provided she pulls up well from here of course.
"She&apos;s a mare that&apos;s probably just getting better as she gets older. We&apos;ve been very patient and we&apos;re getting rewarded for it now."
"I did my shoulder then had a few little hiccups along the way so I had to sort of start from scratch when I got back, get my weight right down and I&apos;ve been riding for Richie now for the last couple of months or so.
"I&apos;ve been doing the work at home for him and he&apos;s putting me on anything, so I&apos;m very grateful."
