Veteran galloper Private Eye will look to add another feature win to his record when he tackles the Tramway Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on Saturday.

The eight-year-old showed he still has plenty to offer with a strong first-up victory in the P B Lawrence Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield, and trainer Joe Pride is unfazed by his wide draw in barrier 14.

“The barrier doesn’t worry me at all. He’s a horse with really good speed,” Pride said. “Now he seems to be jumping well and putting himself in the race and that’s the best version of him.”

Private Eye has amassed almost $12.4 million in prizemoney, highlighted by his 2021 Epsom Handicap (1600m) win and consecutive placings in The Everest (1200m).

Pride describes him as “part of the furniture” in his stable, while Nash Rawiller, who has ridden him 11 times, retains the ride as he chases a third Tramway Stakes win.
