Gingernuts (NZ) (Iffraaj {GB}), current second favourite for the G1 Austalian Derby Apr. 1 will take in another Australian Group 1 en route to that mission. The Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards trained gelding will take his chance in the G1 Rosehill Guineas on Saturday and his owner David Ellis of Te Akau Racing confirmed his G1 New Zealand Derby winner in top form ahead of his first start outside of New Zealand. “Gingernuts has absolutely thrived since the Derby and Stephen and Jamie think he has improved,” said Ellis. “He'll be going on Monday and he'll run in the Rosehill Guineas and then the Australian Derby.” Opie Bosson was on board Gingernuts when the pair beat Rising Red (NZ) Redwood {GB}) at Ellerslie Mar. 4 and he will maintain the partnership on his next two starts.
