Charging towards Slipper glory

Golden Slipper contender Solar Charged confirmed she is set to mount a serious claim on the world’s richest two-year-old race by recording a strong win in a Rosehill barrier trial on Friday.

Solar Charged led all the way and was never pressured by jockey Corey Brown when running a tidy 54.50 seconds for the 900 metres.

“She’s very good and very well,” Brown said. “That was an above average trial.”

Solar Charged’s trainer John O’Shea has said his gun filly will resume at Warwick Farm on the Group III Kindergarten Stakes at Warwick Farm on March 6.
