In the aftermath of securing his second Group 1 victory astride Queman in the recent Oakleigh Plate (1100m), jockey Harry Coffey has now been enlisted to ride Benedetta in the upcoming Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) scheduled for March 9.

Trainer Jason Warren, based in Mornington, has affirmed Coffey as the replacement for the regular rider, Daniel Stackhouse. Stackhouse will be serving a suspension, necessitating a change for Benedetta’s second-up autumn appearance.

Benedetta’s most recent outing saw her claim a fourth-place finish behind Queman in the Oakleigh Plate.

Horse racing betting sites have Benedetta marked as a +1400 chance for the Newmarket Handicap.
