Within The Law is one of several spring contenders set to step out at Tuesday’s barrier trials at Rosehill Gardens with the filly set to line up in a 900m heat.

The daughter of Lucky Vega is on the third line of betting at $8 for the Group 1 Flight Stakes with Baker keen to follow the tried and true three-year-old fillies path through the spring, which kicks off with the Group 2 $300,000 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) on August 23.

“She is going super,” Baker said.

“We will go through the fillies series and I think she has come back a little bit bigger and stronger.

“You don’t get carried away but she has the temperament and everything about her suggests maybe she can be a filly that can go on to that next level.

“With two-year-olds, it’s always a bit of a question mark but I have a bit of a feel about her.”

It was a remarkable two-year-old season for Within The Law that could have ended in disaster.

She won the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes before escaping serious injury when she went through the running rail and lost her rider in the Group 1 Golden Slipper.

Within The Law was able to get back to the races to finish third in the Group 2 Percy Sykes Stakes and then came a close second to Nepotism in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes.

“She did a great job and is more of a raceday racehorse rather than a trackworker,” Baker said.

“From that point of view I think, she may be able to step up another level.”

She won’t be the only two-year-old stepping out on the morning with a plethora of youngsters lining up, including Skyhook, West Of Swindon, State Visit, Blitzburg, King Of Pop, Memo and North England.

Baker also has last start Group 1 Sydney Cup winner Arapaho having his first trial over 1000m in a heat that also includes stablemate Perfumist.

Group 1 performer Lindermann is among the Chris Waller-trained spring hopefuls set to step out while Canadian Group 1 winner Moira is in the same 900m heat.

Waller will also saddle up his first trialist in the Godolphin royal blue with Commemorative in a 900m heat.
