Classy Victorian galloper Age Of Chivalry will shoulder the top weight in Friday’s $107,250 Murray Bridge Gold Cup (1600m).
The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr stable have booked Barend Vorster to ride the highly credentialled galloper who was allocated 60kg as they try to continue a brilliant 2022 on South Australian soil.
The stable won the Listed Nitschke Stakes and Adelaide Guineas with Illation, Jungle Magnate won the Group 3 Chairman's Stakes at Group 1 South Australian Derby, Maximillius won the David Coles AM Stakes while The Amazonian won the Group 3 SA Fillies Classic during the Adelaide Racing Carnival.
Age Of Chivalry was placed in the 2019 Group 1 Toorak behind Fierce Impact, ran second behind Homesman in the 2020 Group 2 Crystal Mile at Moonee Valley before winning last year's Group 3 Chatham Stakes at Flemington beating Crosshaven.
His two runs for the Price/Kent Jnr stable have been solid running fifth behind Aysar in the Listed Chautauqua Stakes before he was beaten five lengths behind Gentleman Roy in the Group 3 Sandown Stakes last time out.
Comeback local Lord Vladivostok was allocated 56kg by the handicapper while 19 of the 24 nominations are on the minimum with 54kg.
