Ruby Skye has proven competitive in city grade of late and looks to get into a winnable race when she contests the $27,000 Tom Patton Cup, (1800m).
"It looks a nice race for her and she gets in well at the weights," Widdison said.
"You just have to forget her last run at Moonee Valley when trapped four-wide.

"She should prove pretty hard to beat I would have thought."
