The Tony McEvoy trained Sunlight was brilliant in winning at the Gold Coast on December 23 and is set to round off her preparation with a run in the Follow Aquis Farm on Twitter 2YO Handicap (1100m) at the same venue on Saturday.

Aquis was instrumental in purchasing and syndicating all three fillies, who are all raced by women and therefore eligible for the lucrative $500,000 women's bonus.

Aquis Farm will also return to Magic Millions as vendors in 2018, building on the success they enjoyed in 2017 when achieving 100% clearance in Book One to sell 17 yearlings for $3,455,000 with the highlight a Medaglia D'Oro (USA) colt from Sangfroid that made $1milllion.

Aquis will offer a stunning draft of 25 yearlings by a wide variety of leading sires and first season favourites such as Deep Field, Dissident and Rubick.
