Kris Lees says former New Zealand filly Per Inaway “hasn’t gone backwards” since her winning debut for the stable a fortnight ago.

The Australian Bloodstock-raced three-year-old fronts up again at Rosehill Gardens tomorrow looking to make it two in a row, in the Benchmark 78 Handicap (1300m).

Whilst Per Inaway  again races against her own sex, this time Lees has taken advantage of his talented apprentice Dylan Gibbons' city claim to ensure she carries the same weight.

Gibbons, who is having an outstanding season with 101 wins already on top of 86 in his debut season, takes 3kg off Per Inaway, lessening her weight back to 55.5kg.

"It was a good tough performance to score over 1200m a fortnight ago, and she certainly hasn't gone backwards since," Lees said this morning.

"Per Inaway now be looking for even a bit further than tomorrow's 1300m, but she has drawn well and Dylan's claim is obviously important to keep her on the same weight she carried in winning on June 4."

Gibbons also partners stablemates Miracle Day and French Marine at the Rosehill meeting.

Miracle Day resumes in the Benchmark 72 Handicap (1100m), and first emergency French Marine has secured a start in the Benchmark 78 Handicap (1300m) for colts and geldings with the withdrawals of both last-start winners Kingsheir and Blaze A Trail.

Former Victorian Miracle Day won his first three starts late last year for Lees before defeats at Canterbury and Warwick Farm.

He has had two trials at Gosford to ready him for his return and, again, Gibbons' 3kg claim reduces the gelding's weight to 55.5kg.

"Miracle Day goes to a Saturday race in town first-up, so it's a stronger grade," Lees said.

"But he has drawn a soft gate, and can run well fresh.

"Dylan's claim also is very handy on French Marine, who continues to race well.

"He puts himself up on speed, and is very honest.

"No reason why he can't be competitive again."

Like mother, like daughter!

Lees' other Rosehill representative is Razeta (Kerrin McEvoy), who comes to town after winning a Wyong Provincial & Country Maiden Handicap (1100m) on debut on June 2.

He also notched a debut success with the Deep Field filly's dam Little Zeta in a 900m Newcastle Maiden in March, 2008.

McEvoy rode Razeta  in her Wyong victory, and stays aboard as she goes to the 1400m of the 2YO Handicap.

"This is going to be tougher going to town, but she is a nice filly and it's the right time late in the season to have a crack."

. Lees was disappointed to see a substantial downgrade to a "Heavy 8" this morning following overnight rain for tomorrow's Flemington program.

But he hasn't yet ruled out starting Grande Rumore in the Benchmark 90 Handicap (1420m).

Lees sent the mare south looking for better ground, and she ran well when fourth in a Benchmark 78 Handicap (1400m) on a "Soft 6" at the same track a fortnight ago.

With the rise in grade, Grande Rumore drops from 58.5kg to 54kg, and Blaike McDougall retains the ride.

"I'll have to reassess and see what happens with the weather today," Lees said. "Flemington dries pretty well, and hopefully there is no further rain."

The rail is 12 metres out, and Grande Rumore has drawn well enough in a field of 13.

. Lees has not yet decided when last year's Moonee Valley All-Star Mile winner Mugatoo will resume.

He decided against trialling him on the Beaumont (inside) track on Wednesday morning, but indicated a start in the $150,000 Showcase Coffs Harbour Cup (1600m) on August 4 remains a possibility.

The first two placegetters in the Cup become eligible for the inaugural $2m The Big Dance (1600m) at Royal Randwick on November 1.
