Tornado Tears, who has earned a whopping $755,000 after winning 29 of 47 races, will be back at Wentworth Park for the heats of the Group 1 Sydney Cup on Friday, October 11.
His Victorian trainer Robert Britton, who took out the 2017 Cup final with Fanta Bale, will also bring NSW-owned Blazing Cartier to Sydney for the big 720m event.
Blazing Cartier, already a dual 720m Wentworth Park winner, has had a win and two seconds from her past three starts over 715m at Sandown Park.
Brendan Pursell, who trains his team on the same Lara property as Britton, plans to bring She Will Bloom, who will make her first Wentworth Park appearance on Saturday night, and Annie Lava to Sydney for the Cup heats.
She Will Bloom, who won over 725m at The Meadows on September 21 and again last Saturday, boasts a smart strike rate of 14 wins and 11 placings from 35 starts.
Annie Lava is also no slouch, having registered 11 wins and 24 placings and scoring in 42.02 over 715m at Sandown on August 29.
