The Villiers Stakes is likely to come too soon for Something Fast, although trainer Anthony Cummings has not completely ruled out making a belated bid for the Group Two race.

After a spring of discontent, Anthony Cummings has started over with Baller and he is hoping the speedster can hit the ground running in the Listed Starlight Stakes at Rosehill.

Libertini is odds-on to continue her domination of the Princess Series, although a wet track and distance rise have a rival jockey firmly believing he can upset the star filly.
