Golden Slipper winner Lady Of Camelot will be put through her paces at Hawkesbury trials on Monday as Tulloch Lodge weighs up a potential summer campaign with the brilliant filly.
Lady Of Camelot will be the headline act at a busy trial session at the foot of the mountains when she lines up in a 800m heat with Tim Clark aboard.
The daughter of Written Tycoon, a fantastic victor in this year’s Golden Slipper, has had a short freshen up since the spring where she was fourth in Group 1 The Everest before finishing third in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes.

Trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott are yet to confirm the filly’s target with the latter stating there are “a few options coming up”.
“We will see how she trials on Monday,” Bott said.
“She just had a freshen-up off the back of her run in the Coolmore and she didn’t have long out, so she should come up pretty quickly.
“We will reassess and see what the autumn looks like.
“Physically, she looks really well so the trial will be a pretty important indicator for us.”
Lady Of Camelot is the $3.50 second favourite for inaugural $3m Magic Millions Sunlight on January 4 on the Gold Coast, which is a slot race for three-year-olds.
Waterhouse and Bott’s unbeaten filly Gerringong is in the running for a trip to Queensland for the Magic Millions Sunlight after she maintained her unbeaten record with a second dominant victory at Canterbury on Friday night.

Gerringong, raced by John Singleton and a host of former rugby league greats is an $11 chance in the Sunlight.
“We will potentially go towards the Magic Millions with her and Singo (Singleton) is keen to have a look at the new slot race,” Bott said.
“We will have to work out if there is an opportunity to get to a race like that and we will talk to a couple of people during the next week.
“She is progressive and if it’s not Magic Millions we will set our sights on something in the autumn.”
Meanwhile, last start ATC Cup placegetter Townsend will have a tune up over 1000m at Hawkesbury with Rachel King aboard.
The Group 1-placed son of Dundeel will next appear in Group 3 company on Boxing Day at Royal Randwick.
“Townsend is heading towards the Summer Cup so it’s just a trial to keep him up to the mark,” Bott said.
