A first-up race - and a jockey - remained unconfirmed for Beneteau despite the three-year-old making a promising start to his autumn campaign.

Beneteau, a high-priced yearling purchase in 2009, stood out as one of only two Randwick barrier trial winners on Monday not to be trained by Gai Waterhouse.

"There was nothing flashy about the time but he did what he had to do after settling about fourth," trainer Paul Messara said.

Ridden by Corey Brown, Beneteau clocked 1:03.3 for the 1050m heat, beating maiden gallopers Money Tree and Savodara.

He sat wide for most of the trial before ambling up to the leaders at the 200 metres.

Messara said the Redoute's Choice colt would trial again before starting his run towards potential autumn riches.

"I haven't picked out a race yet and a jockey hasn't been confirmed," Messara said.

"He'll trial again in a fortnight and I'll go from there."

Beneteau started favourite in last year's Blue Diamond Stakes before running on from 11th to finish third in Victoria's richest two-year-old race.

The colt was then two lengths from the winner Crystal Lily when fifth in the Golden Slipper before finishing a close sixth to Skilled in the Champagne Stakes.

A back injury in the spelling paddock put paid to a spring campaign.

TAB Sportsbet made Beneteau a $26 chance when Australian Guineas betting opened on Monday.

Waterhouse runners dominated Monday's barrier trial session, winning 15 of the 17 heats with the Graeme Rogerson-trained Shootoff the other non-Tulloch Lodge trial winner.

Among the high-profile Tulloch Lodge gallopers to show their wares was top-class mare More Joyous.

The four-year-old was kept under a tight hold to take ground off stablemate Montana Flyer who led throughout.

Other prominent Waterhouse stars to win their trials included the Group One-placed More Strawberries and talented mare Kiss From A Rose.

The trainer's AJC Australian Oaks winner Once WereWild finished second in her heat.
