“She’s not travelled much, but she’s a pretty relaxed sort, a big girl, so eating and all that won’t worry her.
“We’ll just come down and see how we go. She will tell us where she’s going. She’s nominated for that race in a fortnight, but obviously she’ll have to be super good, or we’ll get her ready for the carnival here.
“I think her last win was over 1500, and she’s only had the one run in and two runs in eight months, so she should keep improving.”
Freedman, meanwhile, was excited to get Apocalyptic back to the track.
“They are animals, so I never get too far ahead of myself and I certainly never get overly confident with any horse,” Freedman said.
“I’m happy with her, but you need the luck in running and all that.
“When you break your maiden in a group 2, then win a group 2 and group 1 at your next two, you don’t see it too often, so from a trainer’s point of view, when you get those sorts of horses around you, it’s exciting.”
