Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr are weighing up a 1400m target for Millennium Blade as they look for the colt’s maiden victory before the end of the season.

The lightly-raced two-year-old is listed among 11 hopefuls for Saturday’s TAB We’re On (1420m) at Flemington, though connections may wait a week to attempt the Listed Oaklands Plate (1400m) at Morphettville Parks.

“I’ve got to have a talk to the owners to see which way they want to go,” Kent Jr said.

Millennium Blade has started twice, finishing third over 1100m at Caulfield to Prince Tycoon, and then runner-up over 1200m to Salty Pearl, also at Caulfield.

“His two runs have been good,” Kent Jr said.

“We felt last start he got to the front very early in the straight and wobbled left and right and was a sitting duck for Salty Pearl to get up on his inside and just beat him.”

“When he caught sight of her on his inside, he really challenged again late and there was a good margin back to third.”

“He’s trained on well and the way he came off the bridle early in that race, and was strong at the post, indicated to us that he should get 1400 metres.”

“He is still a maiden, but he’s a nice colt that has done everything right between runs.”

“I think Observer looks particularly hard to beat as does Patrick Payne’s horse (Buccleuch), but he’s definitely in the mix if that’s the way we go.”

Kent Jr admits uncertainty remains regarding how long the colt can race this campaign.

If he heads to Flemington, plans could extend to the Listed Taj Rossi Series Final (1600m) on July 5.

“It is only his first racing preparation, so whether he keeps training on, that will be the question with him, but we will learn more from Saturday if we go that way,” Kent Jr said.

“Saturday could be a bit of a D‑day for him.”
