I could have had five or six 10 to 201 shots but with the book I had in Sydney I thought it was worthwhile staying
The Richard Litttrained Barber a 650 Sportsbet hope in the feature is among his best chances at Randwick A former Godolphin galloper Barber won his second start for Litt and new connections when edging out Brudenell in the listed Takeover Target Stakes 1200m at Gosford on May 10 for jockey Tyler Schiller
With Schiller sidelined with a back fracture from a prerace fall at Canterbury last week Lloyd has gained the job on Barber Lloyd won two Sydney apprentices titles while with Godolphin and knows the fouryearold gelding well
Im very excited to ride him because I had a bit to do with him as a younger horse Lloyd said
He looks to still be racing well Richards horses are racing really well so he should run well
