Wyndra All Class, who won this year's Group 1 National Futurity at Wentworth Park and last raced on August 10, has had her respite from racing extended after coming in season.
There are no plans to retire Wyndra All Class, who does not turn three until November, but owner Brian Barton is philosophical about the situation.
Barton said: "Wyndra All Class has never been in season and trainer Daniel Gatt and I were getting worried she was not going to come on, which has happened to a couple of top-class bitches recently.
"Bitches usually come back to racing better than ever after their first seasonal spell so I'm really looking forward to seeing Wyndra All Class back on the track.''
Thursday night's four heats of the group one Dapto Megastar have drawn outstanding fields but three notable absentees are boom sprinter Seaton Key, Father Rick, who notched his eighth Wenty win on Saturday, and Lidsdale Road, who was a desperately unlucky third in the same race.
Justin King's Seaton Key, who had won at Wentworth Park in a flying 29.57 on August 12, was found to have gone slightly amiss after trialling at Dapto in preparation for the Megastar last week.
"He trialled 29.80 and for a dog which had just clocked 29.57 at Wenty that told me he wasn't right so I pulled the nomination for the Megastar out,'' King said.
Following Father Rick's fast-finishing win at Wentworth Park last Saturday, trainer Ray Webster said: "He was lame on Sunday morning so will be out of action for around six weeks.''
"He suffered a little setback after Saturday's Wentworth Park race but he should only be sidelined for two or three weeks,'' trainer Garry Coles said.
Coles had some consolation on Tuesday at Bulli when his dog Rebel Garth, resuming after a break of nine weeks in a less than suitable 340m event, stormed home to win easily in a slick 19.18.
Rebel Garth has won 19 races for $58,000 and although he won at Wentworth Park in June Coles said: "I don't think he is really suited to Wentworth Park, he is probably better on a bigger track.
"I intend entering him for a 400m race at Bulli next week and then I will gradually work him back to having another crack at Wenty.''
How Good, who finished down the course at his 101st race at Wentworth Park on Wednesday, has been retired after winning nine races and racking up 25 placings for owner-trainer-breeder Rodney O'Brien.
Also retired and heading eventually for the breeding barn is Zipping Jada, who won in 30.09 and 30.13 at Wentworth Park in January for trainer John Finn.
"A breeder from West Wyalong bought her and was so excited about getting her he drove all the way from his home to our place at Cranebrook, around 500km, to pick her up,'' Finn's wife Minnie said.
