More Sundays has been at Lindsay Park's Sydney stable a little over two weeks and won a Rosehill trial on August 20.

Dabernig said More Sundays has done everything asked of him.

“We just thought we'd get him in the routine up in Sydney and have a run before the Golden Rose,” Dabernig said.

“He looks pretty straight forward but I haven't seen him put under any pressure yet and I'm not sure what he'll do.

“Hopefully he wins easily and doesn't need to be put under pressure.”

Fundamentalist has raced in Victoria, South Australia and Queensland and has also trialled in Sydney.
