Godolphin also has fillies winner Lyre, who is trained by Anthony Freedman, aimed at the Blue Diamond.

Godolphin’s impressive crop of juveniles trained by Cummings includes Golden Slipper favourite Tassort and Magic Millions Classic winner , among others.

“We’re privileged to have them,” Cummings said.

“They’re beautifully educated and they are getting to the races fit and happy horses.

“Microphone is no exception to that.

“I thought his win there was really quite promising. I love the way he kept driving to the line.

“He probably looks a horse really well suited to Sydney now. A race like the Skyline Stakes coming up in a couple of weeks looks quite ideal for him.

“I expect him to rate really well on that performance and he could comfortably go to six furlongs at Randwick and run really well.”

Microphone firmed from $51 to $26 in the Golden Slipper market headed by Tassort ($4.50) and Exhilarates ($8).
