“We think he’s been looking for the extra trip so the 1300m shouldn’t pose any problems to him.”
Majorca Sunset is still looking for that maiden win in the Drinkwise Mile (1600m) after a last start fourth at Warwick Farm that the Baker stable is happy to forgive.
The three-year-old was a solid favourite when beaten 2-3/4 lengths by Conichero over 1400m two weeks ago.
“He was a touch disappointing the other day, but he had a fair bit against him, he copped a bad bump mid-race and lost a shoe,” Hilton said.
“So we forgive him for that, if he gets back to what we thought of him prior to that he should be hard to beat.”
Racing NSW boss Peter V’landys has flagged his interest in offering the winner of the new NZB Kiwi slot race automatic entry into the $10 million Golden Eagle. In an interview with NZB Kiwi’s Andrew Gourdie, V’landys said former NZ Thoroughbred Racing chairman Cameron George was looking into a link between the races. The inaugural $NZ3.5 million Kiwi, the richest race for three-year-olds in the Southern Hemisphere, will be held on Saturday at Ellerslie. Australian-trained trio Evaporate, Public Attention and Perfumist top the market. The Kiwi and the Golden Eagle, a race for four-year-olds held in late October at Rosehill, are both over 1500m. “We’re very interested in having that partnership, and we’ll have discussions with the New Zealand Thoroughbred board in making it an automatic entry to the Golden Eagle for the winner,” V’landys said.

Jockey Dylan Gibbons returns from four months out with a shoulder injury for his first trials on Wednesday at Newcastle. The two-time group 1 winner, who will relocate from Newcastle to Sydney on Monday, had a left shoulder reconstruction in November. He first injured the joint in a pre-race fall at Port Macquarie on October 11 and was cleared to return six days later. Problems persisted until he succumbed to the injury on November 5, after which scans revealed a fracture and ligament tears. The 23-year-old gained a clearance to ride again on February 19 and has since been back at track work. “It feels really good,” Gibbons said. “I’m as fit and as light as I’ve been, so everything is there. All going well tomorrow, I’ll be ringing my manager straight after and looking at a return date.”
