All Too Hard ready to go after second Flemington jumpout

Hawkes Racing says it has Caulfield Guineas winner All Too Hard ready for his first-up outing after another jumpout at Flemington on Friday morning.

All Too Hard is set to resume in Saturday week's Group I CFOrr Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield after the colt stepped out in an unofficial barrier for the second successive Friday.

The half-brother to Black Caviar worked home over the top of the front-runners to win the hit-out in a time of 47.54 for 800 metres. Multiple Group I winner Wall Street was third in the heat while Group I Flight Stakes winner Norzita caught the eye with her last 200 metres to finish fourth.

Co-trainer John Hawkes said All Too Hard was ready to return to the races but would improve further as he progressed into his autumn campaign.

"It was only a jumpout but he hit the line good," Hawkes told Sky Racing World. "He's come back a lot more mature this time and I'm really pleased with him.

"You can only have a horse so fit going into the races. He's in Saturday week but he's at the right point.

"It's just a matter of where we go and his fitness will only get better as he goes along. He'll be plenty fit enough come raceday."

A broken leg kept Symons off the scene since early spring but the rider used the time to develop a smaller and lighter version of "Jockey Cam", which was used in the Channel Seven coverage of the Flemington carnival.
