Ferguson was one of several southern horsemen heading to Addington last night before returning in time for tomorrow's Winton meeting, a trip which may become reasonably regular if the season goes well.
''It just depends on the week and what drives I can get,'' Ferguson said.
''If I can get a decent sort of drive, I'll go.''
Robyn's Bad Boy fits into that category at Winton tomorrow.
The 4yr-old has drawn poorly on the outside of the front row for the 2400m mobile pace, but he showed a smart finish at Gore on August 23 from a similar one.
The speed inside - mostly from Jaccka Emberz - should ensure the pace will be true for much of the trip.
''I'll go back from there,'' Ferguson said.
''Hopefully, with Jaccka Emberz drawn one, they should run along a wee bit which will suit me.
''It's not a big field so he doesn't have too many to get round; he'll still be handy at the top of the straight.''
Ferguson was pleasantly surprised with the Ross Wilson-trained gelding's first run in two months at Gore, as he chased after Run To Hide over 2200m to finish fourth.
''Ross said he hadn't had a trial or workout and would have needed the run. If he's improved, which I think he would have, I'd say he'll be hard to beat.
''At the top of the straight, we were last and we ran home for fourth or fifth and he was really making ground on them. Being a bit handier this week, if he can do the same, he might go over the top of them.''
Robyn's Bad Boy's stablemate, Annie Fitz (race 2), should also have kicked on from her fresh-up run for fifth at Gore.
''She went OK. She just looked like she needed the run. Ross said afterwards she was a bit underdone, so I would say she would have improved with that.''
Annie Fitz starts from the middle of the second line, and Ferguson will look to track other runners into the race.
''It's a bit of a tricky draw. We're just going to have to see how it pans out and race for luck. She follows speed pretty well though, so if they run along, she'll be there at the finish.
Caballo Blanco (race 5) looks like the best of the rest for Ferguson. The lightly-raced Christian Cullen filly was fourth behind the smart Franco Cristiano at Gore, and has done nothing wrong since in the care of Ferguson's employer, Invercargill trainer Wayne Adams.
''She was a bit green too and probably needed the run as well,'' he said.
''She has trained on pretty well this week and is switched on a wee bit more. We'll just see what happens inside us, slot in somewhere, go from there.''
Franco Noire (race 3) and Billy Klondike (race 9) might need the right runs to feature.
