A good performance from Press Report in the Sebring Stakes will reinforce her trainer's decision to change focus with the filly.

Last spring, Lee Curtis set her for longer races and Press Report performed well at the highest level without winning.

She finished fourth in the Flight Stakes (1600m) won by First Seal and fourth again in the Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) won by Hampton Court.

This time around Curtis has changed tack and it has already paid off with a second-up win over older horses in a 1200m race at Warwick Farm.

Back to her own age group over the same distance at Rosehill on Saturday and with some high profile defections to the Birthday Card Stakes for fillies and mares gives Press Report the chance to show her class.

At least, Curtis hopes that's the case.

"I really believe she is a sprinter. She ran well over the longer distances but my gut feeling is we can get the best from her over 1200 and 1400 metres," Curtis said.

"She is a very good horse and I want to see her at her best.

"If she ran well then there's the PJ Bell for fillies at Randwick or even the TJ Smith, although that might be too hard.

"I think her best chance for a Group One win could be in the Brisbane carnival.

"She is enjoying her work and is at least as well as she was before she raced at Warwick Farm."

Press Report is the undoubted flag bearer of the stable with Curtis training a small team at Rosehill.

"We've got ten boxes and they are full and we have horses coming in and out from the spelling farms," Curtis said.

"We are only a small stable but always busy enough. And having a horse like Press Report helps."

Press Report is a $12 chance in the Sebring with the TAB posting Peeping and Washington Heights the $4.20 equal favourites.

The Gerald Ryan-trained Washington Heights will wear blinkers in an attempt to break his maiden.

The colt's four starts include seconds behind Hallowed Crown and Nostradamus in Group races.
