The dam of Group III winner Col 'n' Lil, Street Cry (IRE) mare Jyler is one of those mares to test positive.

Worthy CauseA Magic Millions graduate prepared by Queensland's top juvenile trainer John Zielke, Worthy Cause was a tough and tenacious racehorse and showcased his outstanding ability from the time he won on debut.

He won as a two-year-old, collected Group honours as a three-year-old and continued to record black type success as a four-year-old at Flemington.

His biggest win came in the Group III GCTC Gunsynd Classic (1800m) by two lengths from multiple Group performer Upham.

Worthy Cause stands at a fee of $5,500.
