Travolta doesn't possess correct Permit

PERMIT continued his form resurgence as the Chris Waller-Blake Shinn trainer-jockey combination again denied the gallant Travolta a Royal Randwick feature race win in an enthralling Listed $100,000 Tattersall's Club Cup (2400m) yesterday.

Travolta attempted to lead throughout but in a virtual replay of the Summer Cup on Boxing Day when he was narrowly beaten by I'm Imposing, this time he was collared right on the line by Permit.

After going winless for 20 months, Permit has recorded back-to-back successes in the Christmas Cup and Tattersall's Club Cup this preparation.

"Hats off to Chris Waller for turning this horse's form around,'' Shinn said.

"When I rode him earlier in his preparation, he felt like his old self again.

"He sprung out of the boxes like a four-year-old today, he travelled well and got into a nice rhythm,

"Even when Travolta slipped away to a (five lengths) lead coming to the turn, I knew Permit would respond. It was a very tough win.''

Permit ($11) finishing strongly to run down a gallant Travolta ($3.20) and score by a long head with favourite Destiny's Kiss ($2.10) a neck away third after appearing to have every chance to run down his two rivals.

Waller admitted it was great to see Permit back in form after seemingly losing his way following his 2012 Chairman's Handicap success.

"It was a fairytale start when he first came to us but he tailed off badly after being beaten in the Sydney Cup,'' Waller said.

"We didn't know what was wrong, it was just a matter of persevering I guess."

Waller said he would consider running Permit next in the Listed Australia Day Cup (2400m) at Royal Randwick.

Earlier in the program, in-form Warwick Farm trainer David Pfieffer produced a talented filly when Atmospherical maintained her unbeaten record in the Graeme Symo's 50th Birthday Handicap (1100m).

Atmospherical made it two wins from as many starts when she scored with authority by a widening one-and-a-quarter length margin, fully justifying her short odds of $1.80 after being heavily backed in from $2.25 on course.

"I'm in two minds whether to keep her going to lift her rating or whether to pull up now and aim for the autumn," Pfieffer said.

"I want to get her in to a stakes race but it is hard to get a run in the tougher races unless your rating is up."

Atmospherical is a half-sister to classy mares Gai's Choice, who Pfieffer trained, and Peron.

"She was passed in at the sale and it is not hard to understand why when you see her legs," Pfieffer said.

"I contacted Widden given my association with Gai's Choice and they were happy for me to lease her.

"I sent an email around to my clients and I had her filled in 35 minutes."

Jockey Jay Ford, who rode a tactically perfect race on Atmopsherical, agreed the filly had the ability to reach stakes grade.
