Kiwi trainer Tony Pike, a virtual lone crusader for New Zealand at this year’s Brisbane carnival, is looking for a big finish to his winter campaign with a double shot at the $125,000 Sunshine Coast Guineas at Caloundra on Saturday.

Tony Pike tightened his grip on the Gr.2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) when he produced Haussmann for an emphatic lead-up victory at Hastings on Saturday.

Tony Pike is doing his best to lock in programmes for his impressive array of three-year-old talent, but conditions out of his control aren’t making planning easy.

Tony Pike won’t be rushed into any decision on the immediate future of the well-related Bostonian.

Cambridge conditioner Tony Pike has two big chances in the Listed El Roca - Sir Colin Meads Trophy (1200m) at Hastings on Saturday with his unbeaten three-year-olds Bostonian and Sacred Rebel.
