Vito to stamp his authority at Ballarat

Nicolini Vito will be 18 days between runs by the time he lines up in the Tonks Plate (1200m) at Ballarat on Saturday. Lindsay Park trainers decided to skip the majority of the spring after the sprinter raced a little flat in early stages of preparation. The plan is to keep him in work over the summer and contest the Summer-autumn sprints. Damien Oliver has the ride on the Saturday with Craig Williams. They are going to Singapore for their Gold Cup meeting on Friday.
