Warwick Farm trainer Matthew Smith is excited about the autumn prospects for talented filly Hurtle Myrtle, the leading light of his stable.

The Flight Stakes placegetter took another step towards her return with an exhibition gallop at Rosehill on Saturday.

She is set to resume on February 20 at Rosehill in the Listed Triscay Stakes (1200m) for fillies and mares.

Smith will aim the Dane Shadow filly at the Group One Storm Queen Stakes (2000m) on April 3, but has not yet determined her path to that race.

Hurtle Myrtle became the first horse to race in a Group One for Smith and gave him a great result when third to More Joyous and Sister Madly in the Flight Stakes at Randwick last October.

Smith was set to have a Group One runner in the 2008 Golden Slipper but was forced to scratch Krupt on the eve of the race because of a stone bruise.

Krupt had won the Todman Stakes in the lead-up to the Golden Slipper that year.

The son of Flying Spur later fractured a splint bone and hasn't raced since his Todman Stakes victory and efforts to get him back to the track failed.

"We couldn't get him back," Smith said.

"The owners are now investigating stud prospects, maybe in New Zealand or Western Australia."

Krupt is by Flying Spur out of unraced Hennessy mare Categorical.

Hurtle Myrtle worked with stablemate Hagiadzo in the exhibition gallop and Smith was pleased with both fillies.

"It was nice work," he said.

Hurtle Myrtle gave Hagiadzo a start but coasted up to her in the run to the line and just had her head in front at the end of the gallop.

The pair were timed to run 51.65s for the final 800m of the gallop, with a final 600m in 37.31s on a heavy track.

Smith had a slight setback with Hurtle Myrtle earlier in the campaign which has kept the filly from resuming in the Light Fingers Stakes at Randwick on Saturday, but the trainer is still very buoyed about the autumn ahead.

"She has come up really well, she is bigger and stronger and she is coming along nicely now," he said.

"I'm not sure yet whether she will run in the Coolmore Classic (this preparation), I'll just see how she goes, but the Storm Queen Stakes is the race I'm looking at. I'm not sure if she'll run any further than 2000 metres."

Smith said a start in the Group One Coolmore Classic for fillies and mares on March 20 would depend on how well Hurtle Myrtle runs early in her campaign.
