Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott's English impressed when she stepped out at Canterbury on Wednesday for an exhibition gallop between races.
The Group I winning mare and The Everest nominee galloped between race one and two and impressed both jockey and trainer.
"I couldn't be happier with how she felt and how she worked.," Blake Shinn said.
"Obviously her target is The Everest and there's still a little while to go but I think she has a trial the end of next week and I'm really excited with how she's coming along.
"I adapted a bit of that American style getting her around the barriers and that helped her be relaxed in her work but she displayed a really nice turn of foot.
"Adrian wanted her to have a bit of a testing gallop just to get her to the fitness levels where they want them at this stage of the preparation.
"That race in the TJ Smith where we narrowly got beaten by Chautauqua, it was one of the most thrilling races, even though we got beat, that I've ever ridden in so let's hope for everyone she can get there and perform at her best, and let's hope we can have a rematch with Chautauqua and hopefully turn the tables."
Adrian Bott was also on track at Canterbury and was pleased with the progression that the mare had taken from last preparation, both physically and mentally.
"I'm very happy with what we saw today," Bott said.
"She's exactly where she needs to be at this stage of her preparation. She wasn't asked to do much early but she went through her gears nicely and was given a good hit out to the line.
"We'll see her back at the trials on Monday so it was just a nice test to keep her up to the mark for her first trial.
"She's really strengthened up this time, that was one of most notable things with her coming back this preparation.
"Also, coming here today we saw how much she has matured mentally, she took it all in and paraded nicely, there was no bee in the bonnet, so I think that's all positive for us going forward."
Bott indicated English will run first-up in the Group II The Shorts (1100m) on September 16 before going to the Group II Premiere Stakes (1200m) on September 30 and third-up into the richest turf race in the world, The Everest (1200m) on October 14.
