<h1>Freedmans To Saddle Up I Am Brave</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I Am Brave, the brilliant filly who made headlines at the Scone Cup carnival, puts her unbeaten record on the line in the Midway Handicap (1100m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday.</p> <p>Trainers Richard and Will Freedman sent I Am Brave to the races for the first time at Scone two weeks and the three-year-old filly dominated her rivals to win a 1000m maiden.</p> <p>The Freedmans could have chosen an easier race than a Midway for I Am Brave's second start but it is an indication of how highly they race the filly that are prepared to chance their arm at Rosehill.</p> <p>"We thought she was very good at Scone,'' Richard Freedman said.</p> <p>"More importantly she has come through that race really well so we are keen to run her on Saturday.</p> <p>"But it has taken us a while to get her to the track, and there have been reasons for that, so we don't want to push her too far in her first race preparation.</p> <p>"So, this will probably be her last run before we give her a break. She's a nice filly and we will be even better again in the new season.''</p> <p>I Am Brave, a daughter of Yarraman Park's super sire I Am Invincible, is challenging Harry's Bar for favouritism.</p> <p>The Freedman stable also prepared Walking Painting to win at the Scone carnival and the gelding will line up at Rosehill in the Captivant At Kia Ora Handicap (1800m).</p> <p>Unlike stablemate I Am Brave, former French galloper Walking Painting broke through for his first Australian win with an all-the-way effort in a Scone Midway.</p> <p>"Walking Painting's win rated quite highly for a Midway,'' Freedman said.</p> <p>"I think the key to him is it has taken a while to work out his quirks but we feel now that he prefers soft tracks.</p> <p>"We had some issues with his hind fetlocks and we had to re-shoe him different ways to work out what was best for him.''</p> <p>Freedman is also optimistic Zoubaby can run an improved race back on a firmer Eagle Farm track for Saturday's Listed $160,000 Helen Coughlan Stakes (1200m).</p> <p>Meanwhile, Freedman's improving filly Let's Fly, who romped home by nearly six lengths at Randwick last week, will be given her chance in the Group 1 $700,000 Queensland Oaks (2200m) at Eagle Farm on June 7.</p> <p>"We paid the late nomination for her during the week and the plan is for her to go to the Oaks,'' Freedman said.</p> <p>"She's come through her Randwick win in really good order and we feel she deserves her opportunity.''</p>
