New Zealand-bred and owned mare Lucia Valentina pleased trainer Kris Lees with her effort at Wednesday's Wyong trials.
"She ran a quiet third and Kris was very happy with her," said owner Lib Petagna's racing manager Bruce Perry. "She's still three or four weeks away from her first run."
A dual Group One winner, Lucia Valentina hasn't raced since she finished fifth in the Hong Kong Cup before Christmas and the Savabeel mare is being prepared for the $A4 million Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick on April 9.
