Group One winner Heroic Valour will step out in a 1000 metre heat for black type performers before the opening event of Friday's Taupo meeting.
Heroic Valour's unbeaten two-year-old campaign was crowned by his success in the Diamond Stakes and trainers Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards have the Gr.1 Sothys NZ 2000 Guineas at Riccarton as his primary aim this term.
Friday's trial will also feature last season's Gr.2 Hawke's Bay Guineas winner Amarula and the talented Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained quartet of Coldplay, Saint Emilion, Maygrove and Get That Jive. - NZ Racing Desk
