Heathcote also will unleash his other winter big guns when Ekaterina, Prince Of Boom and The Big Goodbye resume in the Listed Ascot Handicap over 1000 metres.
Eight-time winner Ekaterina is having her first start since finishing sixth in The Gateway at Eagle Farm in December while Prince Of Boom hasn’t raced since finishing fourth in the Magic Millions The Syndicate at the Gold Coast in January.
The Big Goodbye has been off the scene since finishing ninth in The Buffering at Doomben on December 30.
“I’m not sure where Ekaterina will go but it could be the Silk Stocking while Prince Of Boom will be aimed for the second-tier winter races,” Heathcote said.
“Prince Of Boom didn’t have the best of summer carnivals but he trialled super at Doomben last week.”
