2018 Golden Slipper Nominated Filly Looking Fabulass

A third acceptor for the Golden Slipper Stakes 2018, Miss Fabulass caught the eye of trainer Kris Lees in her outstanding Gosford trial on Wednesday.

The well-bred daughter of the former highest rated horse in the world, English champion Frankel, Miss Fabulass could be down to debut in two weeks’ time after her successful mid-week hit-out.

Prepared at Newcastle by Lees, the promising two-year-old filly was ridden by Kerrin McEvoy for her 800m winning hit-out that she took out in 48.32 seconds including a final 600m sectional time of 34.53 seconds.

“That was her second trial and her first after a short break,” Lees told Racing NSW.

“She may make her debut in a fortnight.”

Lees and connections still have Miss Fabulass entered for the iconic Group 1 $3.5 million Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens on March 24.

Being unraced, the Strawberry Hill Stud-raced Miss Fabulass currently sits as a $51 outsider in futures Golden Slipper betting at Ladbrokes.com.au.

Lees has a strong connection with the well-bred Miss Fabulass having trained her dam, the 2008 Flight Stakes – VRC Oaks winner and Cox Plate third placegetter Samantha Miss.

Lees also has a first-up option in mind for his three-year-old I Am Invincible filly Yulong Xingsheng who also trialled well at Gosford on Wednesday.

Fourth in her 800m open heat, Yulong Xingsheng hasn’t raced since winning the Listed Twilight Glow Stakes (1400m) at Ladbrokes Park last November.

That followed her luckless Melbourne Cup Day fourth to Our Crown Mistress in the Listed Lexus Hybrid (1400m) at Flemington.

A winner of two of her six career starts to date, the filly will be stepped-up in grade first-up this time in with Lees booking in the Group 2 $200,000 Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick for her on February 17.

“Yulong Xingsheng trialled nicely this morning and is ready to go back to the races,” Lees said on Wednesday.

“The Light Fingers is an ideal starting point for her. She looks to have plenty of upside.”

Last year’s Light Fingers Stakes winner was the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained dual Group 1 winner Global Glamour who is favourite to win this weekend’s Group 2 $200,000 Expressway Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill.

Many of the best fillies out of the Light Fingers Stakes continue onto the Group 1 $600,000 Coolmore Classic (1500m) at Rosehill on March 17 to take on the older mares.

The last three-year-old Coolmore Classic winner however was the Peter Moody-trained Typhoon Tracy back in 2009.
