Job Done will give away size to most of his rivals but co-trainer Mick Price<\/a> says the youngster\u2019s motor will take him a long way towards remaining unbeaten at Saturday\u2019s Flemington meeting.<\/p>\n

The two-year-old impressed with his easy debut win in a Seymour maiden on June 10 but will tackle the Flemington straight course for the first time in the Next Generations Sprinters Series Final (1200m).<\/p>\n

Price, who trains Job Done<\/a> in partnership with Michael Kent Jr, said the son of Snitzel worked well at Cranbourne on Saturday morning as part of his preparation for his $150,000 target.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will turn up and run well at Flemington,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBen Melham rode him in his gallop and he worked like a horse that needs a horse to follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis first win was good and he\u2019s a small gelding with a big stride.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got a motor and a good pedigree and I think he\u2019ll run well down the straight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Job Done is a half-brother to New Zealand Group 2 winner Contessa Vanessa, who also won a Listed race over 2100m.<\/p>\n

Price said he expected Job Done to handle 1200m at Flemington.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s 1200m that race and we\u2019re assuming he has that proper stamina about him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Price and Kent Jr will also run emerging filly Knobelas<\/a> in the $150,000 Silver Bowl Final (1600m) for three-year-olds.<\/p>\n

Knobelas was beaten on debut over 1400m at Pakenham on May 8 but has since posted comfortable wins over 1600m at Pakenham and Sandown.<\/p>\n

Price said the New Zealand-bred filly also worked well on Saturday morning despite saving her best for race day.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s not a great trackworker,\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a better racehorse and she\u2019s had tie-forward surgery, which is probably why we hear her blow a bit more than normal but it doesn\u2019t worry her.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s gone from a maiden to win at Sandown and should continue to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n
