In-form galloper Defibrillate is giving his New Zealand owners a great thrill, having strung together four consecutive wins in Melbourne, and he will be vying to extend it to five at Flemington on Saturday.
Co-bred and part-owned by Matamata trainer Graham Richardson, the son of Shocking is set to line-up in the Gr.1 Australian Cup (2000m) this weekend for Plumpton conditioner Patrick Payne, his first tilt at elite-level.
The six-year-old gelding has been in stellar form this time in, winning four of his five starts, including the Listed Lord Stakes (1700m) at Caulfield on Boxing Day and the Listed Mornington Cup Prelude (2000m) at the same track last start.
