Warwick Farm trainer Clarry Conners will unveil a promising first starter at Hawkesbury on Thursday when the John Singleton-owned Kiss Goodnight lines up in the Davo’s Dash 2YO Maiden Handicap (1000m).

Kiss Goodnight is a filly by Written Tycoon out of the Snitzel mare Evening Slippers. She races in the famous Strawberry Hill Stud colours.

Conners gave Kiss Goodnight two trials at Warwick Farm back in January and February. She was down the track in both of them, but since returned with an easy trial win at Rosehill last month in preparation for her race debut.

Conners has booked Andrew Adkins to partner Kiss Goodnight in her event, while the trainer has engaged 1.5-kilogram claiming apprentice Jace McMurray for the rides on Sleuth in the Inglis Xtra Bonus Maiden Plate (1600m) and Tip Top Timing in the Clarendon Tavern Benchmark 64 Handicap (1600m).
