Golden Slipper winner Mossfun has returned to the Hawkes Racing stable to begin her spring campaign.
Mossfun won four of her five starts in a two-year-old season that also included victories in the Group Two Silver Slipper Stakes and Group Three Widden Stakes.
John Hawkes, who trains Mossfun in partnership with his sons Michael and Wayne, says Mossfun arrived back at the operation's Rosehill base on Friday.
"She had a nice break and spelled really well and she's matured a bit more," Hawkes said.
"She's got a bit stronger. She was only a baby last time."
Hawkes said the stable had no plans for Mossfun at such an early stage but the Mossman filly would race over sprint trips in her spring three-year-old campaign.
"We have got nothing in mind for her but we'll wait for a few weeks and see how she is," he said.
"She'll stick to sprints. She'll start in Sydney but she might make her way down to Melbourne."
Mossfun is one of two yearlings His Excellency Nasser Lootah of Emirates Park bought at the 2013 Easter Yearling sale.
The filly cost just $85,000 with his other purchase, $4 million unraced colt Emaratee, also with the Hawkes team.
Hawkes said Emaratee would make his debut early in the new season.
The Hall Of Fame trainer said Emaratee had been in work for a few weeks and would be ready to go to the track in August.
"He's been through the stables plenty of times but he's just been a bit immature," he said.
"He was never a two-year-old. He was always a three-year-old so we have just taken our time and given him a good education."
Emaratee is a son of champion stallion Fastnet Rock out of the 2003 Oakleigh Plate winner River Dove.
