The Charlie Appleby-trained Francis Of Assisi suffered a superficial injury during the flight to Australia from Britain.

However Appleby's travelling foreman Chris Connett said the cut will not halt the Australian preparation of Francis Of Assisi.

“He had a little knock on the plane on the way, something superficial, he will go out on the track tomorrow, nothing major,” Connett said.

“The main target is the Caulfield Cup for him, it is just under three weeks away now, which is perfect for him, we are very happy.”
