The $3.5 million Golden Slipper at Rosehill in April will be firmly on the agenda for Temple Of Boom if the Toowoomba colt maintains his unbeaten record at Eagle Farm.

Trainer Tony Gollan is playing his cards close to his chest ahead of the two-year-old's bid to record his second win in Saturday's Copperama Handicap (1000m).

"I don't want to put the cart before the horse and I'm trying to be realistic at this stage," Gollan said.

"But if he happened to come out and win like he did at the Gold Coast then we'll definitely look at taking him away for the Slipper.

"He's not nominated for the race and he'll need to win one of the qualifying races to get in."

Temple Of Boom, a son of Piccolo, raised a few eyebrows with his explosive victory in the Magic Millions Prelude (900m) at the Gold Coast on January 3.

The youngster gave his opposition windburn when cruising to a near four-length victory on debut.

"It was only 900 metres and on a heavy track and I'm trying to be realistic about how good he might be," Gollan said.

Temple Of Boom, who was bred at Colin McAlpine's Eureka Stud at Cambooya outside Toowoomba, went through the Magic Millions sale ring but wasn't ready in time to start in last week's $2 million Magic Millions Classic at the Gold Coast.

"He's a lovely colt and a lot like his mother who I trained," Gollan said.

"Had he had a better preparation I would have loved to run him in the Magic Millions last week but he's not very big and is still immature.

"I never targeted him as a Magic Millions horse early on but he keeps improving and has started to show us a lot more.

"I'm still a bit surprised he's doing so well as a two-year-old and he'll be even better next preparation."

Temple Of Boom's mother, Temple Spirit, won eight of her 16 starts but raced only once as a two-year-old when winning at Dalby in south-east Queensland in 2003.

Temple Spirit's career was prematurely cut short when she suffered a bad knee injury when third to Royal Shiraz in the Listed Just Now Quality (1200m) at Doomben in 2004.

"Temple Spirit was a very good horse and she got better as she got older," Gollan said.

"She won the big Carlton Draught Handicap on Tatt's Day at Eagle Farm in her final year and was placed at her last start in a Listed race when she suffered a slab fracture of her knee."
