Danny O'Brien's star sprinter, "Star Witness", could be headed overseas to the Royal Ascot carnival, after a short autumn campaign which kicks off in a few weeks.
Last year's Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes winner, recorded another Group 1 success as a three year old in the spring when winning the Coolmore Stud Stakes.
Star Witness is only weeks away from resuming where he will kick off in early February at Caulfield in the Listed Wellington Race Club Stakes before contesting the Group 3 C.S. Hayes Stakes a fortnight later.
His autumn campaign will come to a close in the Group 1 Australian Guineas run at Flemington in early March.
Trainer O'Brien believes a Guineas win would round out his potential stud record, winning both as a sprinter and a miler at the top level.
O'Brien is also aiming his star colt at Royal Ascot with possible targets being the Kings Stand, Golden Jubilee and July Cup.
