Concentrate bids for a third straight win on his Pattern race debut in the six-furlong Group Two William Hill Stakes at Morphettville, Australia, on Saturday, May 9.

The John O'Shea-trained three-year-old, who is ridden by Patrick Moloney for the first time, quickened strongly for an impressive victory in a Cranbourne handicap over the same distance on April 17.

The son of Lonhro also produced a strong late run to take an extended five-furlong maiden at Werribee on March 28.

John O'Shea reported: "Concentrate has done a good job so far this prep and has progressed nicely.

"This race is a massive jump in grade but he has shown he is a progressive young horse and should get a nice run from gate 10.

"He has the blinkers on and I would expect him to be about mid-field with cover and we will see if he can attack the line."

Concentrate meets 12 rivals including Morphettville Listed winner Eclair Choice, Group Three victor Get The Nod and Group One fifth Husson Eagle.
