She's Extra remains unbeaten and targets Magic Night Stakes at Rosehill
Although the Golden Slipper looms a touch prematurely, Newcastle filly She's Extra could play a role during the carnival after securing back-to-back triumphs with a sharp display at Warwick Farm.
Sired by Exceedance, she built on her February 14 home-track rout by four lengths, posting a decisive 3-1/4 length success against Promenade in Wednesday's All Too Hard @ Vinery Stud (1100m) Handicap.
Trainer Kris Lees' representative Danny Greer indicated plans to enter her in the Magic Night Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill a fortnight from now, contingent on a clean bill of health post-Warwick Farm.
With the Golden Slipper (1200m) just seven days beyond that, the compressed schedule points toward the Group 2 Percy Sykes Stakes (1200m) on April 11 at Randwick as a preferable next step.
"There is a two-year-old fillies' race next Saturday. Should she come through this well, which hopefully she does, we will nominate for that," Greer said.
"We will take our path from there. She might even be a Percy Sykes type of horse, but Kris will map a plan."
According to Greer, She's Extra has long exhibited exceptional promise, and her flawless start to racing, including the shift from provincial to metropolitan company, merits appreciation.
"It's not easy to do for any horse, especially to go from a provincial race to a metro race," he said.
"She has done it in good style, and she paraded really well today. She is a very professional type."
Similarly undefeated after two outings, Just Maz impressed Gerald Ryan by winning the Ranvet Handicap (1300m) on Wednesday, following her debut victory at Canterbury in January.
This three-year-old, part of a group including John Singleton, has the Group 3 James H B Carr Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on April 18 in her sights.
"That was the plan and that's why we gave her the break after her first start," Ryan said.
"She chased them down well, and was going to the line with her ears pricked. I don't think we've gotten to the bottom of her yet."
