Trainer Shay Keating is eager to see Into You back at Caulfield on Saturday after a 10-week break following her Australasian Oaks run.
The No Nay Never filly impressed in her first campaign, winning a Benchmark 64 at Sandown by four lengths.
Into You struggled in the Group 1 Australasian Oaks, finishing 10th.
“She was terrible in the gates in the Oaks, she reared up five or six times before they let her go. Alana (Kelly) couldn’t do anything about it and she ended up wide,” said Keating.
“She kept getting forced wider and wider, but she was still really good. If she had any more luck, she should’ve been close to running a place.”
After a month-long spell, Into You has returned to work and showed promise in a recent jumpout.
“She just went straight in the gates and stood there and then she pinged the lids and trialled really well.”
Into You is an $11 chance with betting sites for the three-year-old fillies’ race, with Enna’s Dream as the $2.10 favourite.
