The Chris Waller trained Omei Sword (Aus) (High Chaparral {Ire}) looked a future Group 1 winner in waiting last year and she will take in a barrier trial later in the week at Randwick in advance of her racecourse comeback. Having won the G2 Silver Shadow S. at Randwick in August the filly then chased home the Godolphin colt Astern (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) in the G1 Golden Rose S. at Rosehill in September.
“We've still got a bit of time up our sleeve so she will go to Randwick for a trial on Friday,” Waller told Racing And Sports. “Her Group 1 target is the Coolmore Classic [Mar. 11] which she will go to third-up after the Light Fingers S. over 1200 metres and then the Surround over 1400.” The G2 Light Fingers S. will be run at Randwick Feb. 11, the same day as Waller's Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) is due to make her seasonal comeback in the G2 Apollo S.
