Short-break for Lindsay Park-trained Group 1 winning Fastnet Rock filly.
Following her substandard performance in the Vinery Stud Stakes (registered as the Storm Queen Stakes) (Gr 1, 2000m) on April 3, VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m) winner Personal (Fastnet Rock) will not contest Saturday's Australian Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m) at Randwick and instead be readied for a tilt in the Australasian Oaks (Gr 1, 2000m) at Morphettville on May 1.
"She is already back at the farm," co-trainer Ben Hayes told Racing.com.
"She didn't handle the travel to Sydney too well and was a bit flat.
"She went hard and they went much quicker time than the other 2000-metre race on the day.
"She was gassed a bit early so we will ride her a lot more balanced and I would expect a big turnaround in form," said Hayes.
"She is eating up at the farm and seems a very happy horse.
"She has only let us down once, so we will just put it down to one of those days."
