A stakes race might be on the cards in the not-too-distant future for Godolphin's two-year-old Kingman (GB) filly Zardozi, who kept her record at a perfect two for two over 1300m at Hawkesbury on Wednesday.
Ridden by Chad Schofield for James Cummings, Zardozi settled off the speed before ploughing through the heavy 9 track to defeat the Pariah debutant Icebreaker by two and a quarter lengths with last start winner Californian (Justify) a shoer-neck back in third.
A debut winner at Gosford on March 16, Zardozi benefited by five trials before her debut, according to assistant trainer Darren Beadman.
"She is a real little professional," Beadman said.

"She is only a light filly but very game and professional. She is out of a Dubawi (IRE) mare, which is why I think she loves the ground.
Zardozi is the first foal of the unraced Chanderi (GB), a 1,300,000gns purchase for Godolphin from the Highclere Stud draft at the 2017 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
Chanderi (GB) is a daughter of the Dalakhani mare Silk Sari (GB), who won the Group II Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster by five lengths and was runner-up in the Group 1 British Champion Fillies/Mares Stakes at Ascot.
Silk Sari's half-sister Dreamlike (GB) (Oasis Dream) is the dam of Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young's Caulfield winner He's Our Bonneval (GB) (Siyouni).
Silk Sari (GB) is a granddaughter of the champion mare Gossamer (Sadler's Wells), a sister to former Widden Stud shuttler, Barathea (IRE).
Chanderi (GB) has a yearling Lonhro colt named Adinath and a weanling colt by Exceed and Excel. She was covered by Palace Pier (GB) last spring.
