Jeep Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Houtzen (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) is currently vying for favouritism for the G1 Golden Slipper and her trainer Toby Edmonds is considering options for the filly in the lead up to that prestigious juvenile contest scheduled for Mar. 17 at Rosehill. “She had ten days in the paddock and was probably doing a bit too well so we brought her back in,” Edmonds told Racing And Sports. The filly is now unbeaten in three starts following her half length win over Chauffeur (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}) at Gold Coast Jan. 14 and Edmonds has a loose plan in mind as he added, “One option is to trial her at Randwick on Monday week and then run in the Sweet Embrace two weeks after that but nothing is set in stone.” There is also a chance Houtzen could skip those trials and commence in the G2 Riesling S. at Rosehill Mar. 4. With various options in the mix Edmonds will make a final decision over the filly's preparation later this week.
