In-form jockey Chris Parnham is bullish Buzzoom can bounce back from the disappointment of being beaten as a short-price favourite in last week’s Champion Fillies Stakes (1600m), when she lines up in the Group 2 Sky Racing-WA Guineas (1600m).
Buzzoom loomed to go past Searchin’ Rocs in last week’s Group 3 feature for the fillies but peaked on her run and was beaten by a length.
Trainer Dan Morton made the decision to back-up the filly into tomorrow’s $500,000 event and Parnham said he expected that decision to be vindicated.
“On first thought, you’d probably say you’d expect her to run through the line a little bit better last week,” Parnham told TABradio.
“I’ve got my own theory on that.
“I’ll probably be riding her a little bit differently tomorrow.
I’m actually really confident with her.
“Her Burgess Queen run was very strong.
“If she brings that run tomorrow, I can see her being very competitive.”
Parnham conceded he would likely have to settle towards the rear of the field with the Safeguard filly from barrier 11.
