David Vandyke is on a mission with new stable acquisition Fill The Page and has covered the bases by entering the mare in three races at Rosehill on Saturday.

Ian Smith of Edinburgh Park Stud recently bought Fill The Page with a view to her future brood mare prospects which may be put on hold if she can step up to the plate.

The Listed Winter Challenge (1500m), a fillies and mares race over 1400m and another benchmark 80 over 1350m are the options Vandyke is weighing up.

"Ian Smith has purchased her and sent her to me because I trained Miss Marx for him," Vandyke said.

"Depending on what she can do she may or may not go to stud this year.

"I won a stakes race with Miss Marx and Ian simply said `do it again' when he sent Fill The Page to me.

"She is a well-performed mare and we'll study all the races and then decide which one she runs in."

Miss Marx had five starts for Vandyke last spring, winning the Listed Testa Rossa at Caulfield after a second to glamour mare More Joyous in Sydney.

Fill The Page was formerly trained by Barbara Joseph and her son Paul Jones and her biggest win so far was the Listed Canberra Cup (2000m) in March last year.

Vandyke also has two options for Happy Hussy on Saturday - the same two benchmark 80 races in which he has entered Fill The Page.

"I'm not sure which race she will run in," he said.

"I'm trying to get a good result for her before the (spring) carnival."

Vandyke's definite runner in the Winter Challenge is French import Less Is More who is coming back from a midfield finish in the Brisbane Cup in early June.

Less Is More will carry the minimum 54kg with another former French horse Bayrir the 59kg topweight.

"We've tried him at 2400 metres twice and he didn't finish it off," Vandyke said.

"Unlike some of the Europeans I think he is not a genuine stayer but is a good middle distance horse."

In his two starts before the Brisbane Cup, Less Is More won over 1600m at Eagle Farm then finished a length second to Precendence in the Group Three Premier's Cup (2200m) at Doomben.
