A
big set of trials at Randwick on Tuesday morning featured plenty of potential
spring stars with prime Everest contenders Sunlight and Classique Legend going
head to head.
The Tony McEvoy trained Zoustar mare looked super sharp when leading throughout
to win her 1000 metre heat by more than two lengths with Classique Legend
steaming into second under a hold, both horses looking primed for their return.
Sunlight is scheduled to resume on Saturday week in what's shaping as a
star-studded Group III ATC Concorde Stakes (1000m) field, taking on the likes
of Redzel, pierata , Nature Strip and boom Queenslander Zoustyle.
The Les Bridge trained Not a Single Doubt gelding Classique Legend is expected
to trial again before resuming in the Group II ATC The Shorts (1100m) at
Randwick on September 21.
Both horses are confirmed starters for the $14 million The Everest at Randwick
on October 19.
Racing fans could be in for some real excitement when these two meet on raceday
and we can all be grateful Sunlight is a filly and not a colt or she would have
been retired to stud as a triple Group I winner by red hot sire Zoustar.
