Emiyna on trial in Athasi Emiyna will bid to prove herself up to classic contention when she runs in the Athasi Stakes at the Curragh tomorrow. John Oxx's filly looked a smart prospect when taking her maiden at Dundalk last month and now steps up in class in the Grade 3 contest. The Aga Khan filly will need to please connections if she is to be given a chance in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. "We liked her when she won her maiden and she's always shown plenty at home," said Oxx. "It's a tough race against the older mares and a good test. If she's to take her place in a guineas she would want to show up well." Oxx also saddles two in the Listed Tetrarch Stakes but admits they have a bit to find on form. "We're chancing our arm a little bit with them," admitted Oxx. "Zabarajad showed a good bit last year and it's worth running him to see where he fits in. "He's still a maiden but he can run in a maiden in a few weeks. "Dubawi Star is rated 92 and we're also running him to see where he fits in." Gary Carson
