Lindsay Park's classy brigade of three-year-old fillies trialled together on Tuesday but will be kept apart during their spring campaigns.
Blue Diamond Stakes winner Catchy finished a narrow third to her Coolmore-owned stablemates Formality and Tulip in a 1000m trial at Cranbourne but a long neck separated the three fillies.
Co-trainer David Hayes said the trial reflected the stable's comparison of the three fillies, who earned more than $2 million between them in their two-year-old seasons.
"I thought they were all good and it's just confirmed what I've always thought, there's not much between them," Hayes, who trains the fillies in partnership with his son Ben and Tom Dabernig, told AAP.
"I thought bringing them down here, getting them out of their normal routine was ideal, but today is the only time they'll see each other in the spring.
"All of them are still wintry in the coat and they'll be better in September and then be peaking in October."
Hayes said Catchy was likely to resume in the Group III Quezette Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield on Saturday week while Formality and Tulip would start their spring campaigns in Sydney.
Catchy will start her preparation with the Thousand Guineas as the main goal but Hayes said the daughter of Fastnet Rock could switch to tackle the Caulfield Guineas if her form warrants the change.
"She's beaten them in the Blue Diamond and it's double the money," Hayes said.
"If she is the dominant filly I would be recommending to (owner) Rob Crabtree to go up against the boys."
Formality and Tulip would embark on separate preparations geared towards the Golden Rose and Flight Stakes.
