Next season will be the making of Register but trainer Heath Conners is banking on a set of blinkers delivering a bonus two-year-old win.

Register is among 11 entries for a 1000m scamper at Flemington although Conners is undecided if Saturday's race or one against at her own sex at Caulfield on Boxing Day will be the filly's next start.

"I'll accept for both races and then sit on the fence for a few days," Conners said.

Whatever he decides, Conners says he is committed to using blinkers on Register because he is sure she cost herself a first-up win at Caulfield.

Register was reluctant to improve across heels until late in the race and she wound up strongly to beat all but Change Of Honour.

"Her run was very good at Caulfield," he said. "She wouldn't go straight and if she did I think she would have won.

"She did the same thing in her barrier trial.

"I was going to put blinkers on her after that but it would have meant going back to the trials and I didn't want to do that."

In an era of northern hemisphere pedigrees becoming commonplace in Australian racing, Register's genes have a real colonial flavour as a graduate from one of Australia's best-known nurseries.

Her sire is Zeditave and her dam is the Marauding mare January.

"She is on lease from Newhaven Park Stud and they have stayed in her to race," Conners said.

But the stud's decision to keep a racing interest might not have its biggest reward until 12 months time, according to Conners.

"She is going to be more of a three-year-old and what's she is doing now she is only doing on raw ability," he said.

"She is a lovely big filly but she's really a big kid."

There are 163 nominations for the Flemington meeting, including 29 entries for the $100,000 open handicap over 1400m.

The nominations includes Sweet Talking Guy, a newcomer to the Conners stable.
