Tony McEvoy has 10 weeks until the Golden Slipper and will sit down in the next couple of weeks and plot how to get Magic Millions winner Sunlight to the world's richest race for two-year-olds.
Sunlight was moved into $8 equal favourite for the Golden Slipper, alongside Breeders Plate winner Performer, after she overcame early interference to be a dominant winner at the Gold Coast on Saturday.
"She is going to have three or four weeks off, I still have to work out where that will be because I would like to limit her travel, probably somewhere near Sydney," McEvoy said. "I would like to have a place where we can still walk and jog her.
"She has had a long campaign and we will wait to see how she copes with the break.
"I will have a look at history and see what other Magic Millions winners have done, like Capitalist, but I would like to have a run at Rosehill before the Slipper.
"The way it looks she will have one run into the Slipper, if that has to be in the Magic Night Stakes, a week out at Rosehill, it wouldn't worry me because she has done the seven-day back-up into the Magic Millions.
"She has shown she is a very classy filly but the Slipper is another step up."
The other option for Sunlight would be the Reisling Stakes at Randwick two weeks out from the Golden Slipper, which is traditionally the strongest of the Golden Slipper trials.
McEvoy was able to secure a sister to Sunlight for $600,000 earlier in the week, which was one of 24 yearlings he bought at the Magic Millions Sales.
"She is pretty similar to Sunlight and if she was sold on Saturday night we would have had to pay a lot more for her," McEvoy said.
