Separate barrier trials have provided trainer David Vandkye with contrasting guides to the future as he makes holiday-season racing plans for his stable.

Vandyke had one eye on the autumn carnival when well-bred three-year-old Ike's Legacy scored with authority in a Warwick Farm trial on Monday.

"He's come back in tremendous order, about 20 kilos heavier," Vandyke said.

"And I think the trial today proved that he is going to be a force."

Vandkye said Ike's Legacy would trial once more before resuming in mid-January.

Ike's Legacy's three-length heat win confirmed the colt's sharpness, an attribute missing from Vandyke's Boxing Day runner Colour My World when she contested a trial at the start of the month.

A former French stayer, Colour My World resumes at Randwick after hurting herself in her only Australian start.

"She injured her knee and it looked quite serious after the race and she had to go out for a break," Vandyke said.

Colour My World returns in the Drummond Golf Handicap - a 1600m race for fillies and mares in which she will clash with stablemate Fulminate.

The race promises to give Vandyke a better insight into her prospects than her last of nine runners in a 1200m trial.

"It's hard with some of these imported horses because the longest trial we've got is 1200 metres so it's hard to get a gauge on where they are at," he said.

"A horse like her doesn't get warmed up over 1200 (metres)."

Vandyke said he had a similar lack of intelligence on subsequent stakes winner Less Is More before the stayer's Australian debut.

"I guess Less Is More is a classic case in point," Vandyke said.

"He went into his first Australian run after being last in a couple of trials but he ran a terrific race."

Vandyke will also start Tulla Touch in the Paul Rossington Memorial Sprint (1000m) at Randwick.

Tulla Touch was undefeated in three starts before her first campaign ended with an unplaced run in the Furious Stakes.
