Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) hopeful Kuroyanagi is set to return to action this weekend, with connections optimistic about a successful spring campaign.

“She’s the most exciting horse we have, she could be absolutely anything,” Niki O’Shea, who trains the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) third-place finisher in partnership with Will Clarken, told Racing.com.

“It’s great to have her back, we’re delighted with the way she’s been going, hopefully we can kick off her preparation on the right note.”

The $390,000 daughter of Written Tycoon is scheduled to compete in the Listed Lightning Stakes (1050m) for two and three-year-olds at Morphettville this Saturday, following a trial at Balaklava featuring talented open-class horses.

“She was in pretty good company that day and she’s worked well since then, so she’s on the right track,” O’Shea said.

“It would be great to win, but obviously it’s hard against the older horses, first-up, and on presumably testing ground.”

Kuroyanagi is currently an +700 chance to win the Thousand Guineas at Caulfield in November with top horse racing bookmakers.
