โSheโs had a couple of nice trials without too much pressure and seems to be going well.
โShe will improve with the run which is a normal routine for my horses anyway.โ
Thompson said heโs not overly keen to kick off Open Secretโs preparation on a wet track though she did run fourth in the Silver Shadow on heavy ground in the spring.
Sheโs accepted in the Ranvet Handicap (1100m) but the trainer said he may look for other options.
Meanwhile, Thompson is hopeful talented youngster Screen Icon can sneak into the Golden Slipper field after electing not to run her in the Magic Night at Rosehill on Saturday.
Runner-up in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes to Spicy Miss at her second run for the autumn, the filly has $102,500 in eligible prizemoney and is in the low 20s in the order of entry.
If she doesnโt make the final 16 then the Group 2 $1 million Percy Sykes Stakes (1200m) becomes Screen Iconโs target.
โIf I run her again she wouldnโt go any good in the Slipper on a back-up, Iโm just going to have to see if we get a run,โ he said.
