Wide gates interstate has seen leading horseman Michael Hickmott shift focus to his home track at Murray Bridge on Saturday.

Michael Hickmott accepted in Melbourne with three runners, including impressive last-start Caulfield winner Fancify, but opted to withdraw all three from the Flemington meeting.

"They'd all drawn the car park so I decided to scratch all three,'' Hickmott said

Fancify, who has won four of her nine starts, could find herself heading north next weekend which will culminate in a Queensland campaign.

"She's subject to a couple of offers from Queensland,'' Hickmott added.

"She may even go to Rosehill next Saturday, and would then go to Queensland for the Eye Liner (a $175,000 Listed feature at Ipswich on June 22),'' he said.

Hickmott had a double at Morphettville Parks last weekend with Storyteller and Exalted Fire and along with Fancify had both Maracourt and veteran Lord Vladivostok accepted in Melbourne.

Maracourt will have a new rider in Jake Toeroek on Saturday after the 1400m race was split due to a large number of acceptors and Hickmott said the horse was overdue but not ideally suited.

"He just hasn't had any rub of the green,'' Hickmott said.

"It's not ideal coming back to 1400m, but he's on his home track, he still needs to get the job done.

"Jessica (Eaton) had stuck with Wine Barron before they split the race, she has a good record on him, hopefully we can win both 1400m races,'' he said.

Veteran Lord Vladivostok is another who could travel north over the winter.

"He's going really good,'' Hickmott said.

"The plan was to go to Sandown so this is Option B, but we will get the ball rolling, I might be able to go north with him as well.

"He's come back in fantastic order, he's a horse who hasn't had a lot of luck in his career and probably should have achieved more but he's very sound and I am sure he's in for another good campaign,'' he said.
