Matt Cameron will be seeking his third Wellington Cup win from four attempts when he partners third favourite Show The World at Trentham on Saturday.

Cameron, the 2015 jockeys’ premiership winner, was having his first Wellington Cup ride when successful on Willy Smith in 2007. That was also his first Group One win in a career that has produced almost 1000 wins in New Zealand and more than 50 at black type level.

He won the Wellington Cup again last year, on Maygrove, a stablemate of Show The World.

Cameron, 29, has been the leading New Zealand rider this season in terms of stake earnings and recorded his third Group One victory for the season when winning the Telegraph on Adventador on the first day of the Wellington Cup meeting.

Show The World, a High Chaparral gelding from the Auckland Cup winner Bazelle, was a Group Two winner as a three-year-old, though he has won just once from nine starts in open company.

However, he has had only 21 starts and has rarely raced badly at 2200m or further.

He finished a creditable fourth in last year’s Auckland Cup and has produced solid runs at his last two starts ahead of the Gr.2 Wallaceville Estate Wellington Cup.

“He [Show The World] is a long distance horse and has got a lot stronger as a five-year-old,” trainer Murray Baker said. “He will stay two miles.”

Baker and co-trainer Andrew Forsman will have three runners at Trentham, the others being Sports Illustrated and Lizzie L’Ámour.

Sports Illustrated, who had her spring campaign halted by a foot problem, tackles a quality field in the Gr.1 Harcourts Thorndon Mile.

The Pins mare showed high promise over 1600m last term, winning the Gr.2 Cal Isuzu Stakes at Te Rapa and finishing second in the Gr.1 Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes at Te Aroha.

Lizzie L’Amour, a Zabeel filly, races in the same ownership as Show The World and the New Zealand Oaks entrant is a form runner in the rating 65 1600m.
